2020 Padigan Estate Reserve Ruby
This wine hails from our oldest Tempranillo vines planted in 2009 and gives a glimpse into our estate’s potential for producing exceptional fortified wines. The dense brick red color teases the eye as rich aromas of blackberry jam, cherry liqueur, crushed raspberry, and pipe tobacco waft from the glass, but what makes this so special is the velvet-laced mouthfeel and impeccable acid balance. Don’t be in a rush to enjoy this wine. It understands and will benefit the patient. Enjoy 2023-2035 with a Cohiba Spectre.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine: 92 points; Hidden Gem
… The wine’s chocolate ganache and blackberry compote aromas are nicely counterpointed by a fresh orange citrus note. Cassis, bitter almond and classic French Pot de crème flavors are divine. Rich, but not cloyingly sweet. —M.A.
