Opaque bright-rimmed ruby. A complex, expansive bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, allspice, succulent herbs and licorice, along with subtle cola and woodsmoke flourishes. Sweet, seamless and broad on the palate, offering intense blueberry, plum jam and spicecake flavors that show surprising energy for their depth. Blends power and finesse with a sure hand and finishes with impressive clarity and gently tannic persistence.

This head-pruned, dry-farmed blend of 49% Mourvèdre, 22% Grenache, 21% Syrah and 8% Counoise from Old Oak Vineyard begins with blackberry, dried purple-flower and gamy meat aromas. The palate is full, with strong but smooth tannins that present flavors of roasted berry and more wild meats.

A blend of 49% Mourvèdre, 22% Grenache, 21% Syrah and 8% Counoise, the 2015 Oveja Negra has a pretty nose of wild berries, potpourri and sweet spices. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, juicy and supple, with a succulent core of fruit, fine-grained tannins and a mouthwatering finish. This is a delicious, drinkable Paso red that's full of flavor and energy.
