Winery Tasting Notes: Patrón means "leader" or "boss" in spanish.  In polo Patrón is the common term used for the leader and owner of the polo team.  Therefore, our newest Piocho Red Blend wine has been crafted from the best portions of our vineyards which lead the way enabling us to produce the best wine we can make.  The wine is a true vineyard blend, where the vintage conditions dictate the resulting wine.  We craft this wine with the idea of making the best wine possible, not the same wine every year.  This years realease of Piocho Patrón is true beauty that shows off the highest quality fruit from the vineyard.  It has a medium to full body with beautiful dark ruby rich color.  Aromatically, the wine is uplifting with notes of blueberry, black cherry, clove, cedar wood and plum. On the palate the wine is richly concentrated, beautifully focused, with deep-set dark blueberry and cherry along side some earth tones and blackcurrant. The wine is lush with broadly structured tannins,  It has an air of a classic Bordeaux blend that is indicative of a the wine that will certianily evolve with time. The finish is persistent and lingering producing a zesty and long, gravitating finish. The wine is wonderful to drink today and will continue to evolve in balance, length and complexity as the more structured Cabernet Sauvignon matures.  This wine will continue to develop and excel over the next ten years.
