Winemaker’s Notes:

COMPLEX, DARING & FIERCE. Our Refugio Untamed holds the best of each variety from our Waxman vineyard. Like a wild band of horses, this blend aerates out the gate with aromas of juicy red fruit & fresh herbs. Further expanding into a palate of rich, dark chocolate, the final stride leads into an overwhelming encore of robust tannins on the finish.
