2013 was not an easy vintage, but the 2013 Reserva shows poise and balance. It might be less concentrated than usual, and it was bottled at 13.6% alcohol. It matured in 225-liter barrels—70% French and the rest American—for some 17months, during which time it was racked every four months. This is a weaker wine, and the oak made a big imprint on the nose and the palate. It was a cold and rainy year, and the wines perhaps were not strong enough to take 18 months in oak. This is a traditional, filtered reserva, quite polished and soft. It's light to medium-bodied with spicy, smoky and creamy flavors and good acidity. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2017.
