El Molino de Puelles This is a single-vineyard wine, from El Molino ("The Mill"), a 4.5 ha (11-acre) plot within the estate where the winery is located. It is certified organic. In this case, the wine is aged for 15 months in new oak, 70% of which is French, and is bottled unfiltered.

Bottling production: 4800 Vineyard Age: 1999 Tasting Notes Color: Extremely dark in color: Maroon with hints of violet, with a concentration that seems to tint the glass. Smell: Subtle dusty currant and blackberry on the nose, but by and large this wine is full of complex oak notes: elements of tobacco, vanilla, oak char, maple sugar, bourbon barrel and molasses. Savor: Heavy and smooth tannins, yet slightly flabby and watery, and full of whiskey-like flavors. Bitter char and tobacco dominate, especially on the finish
