Inspired by its name, Los Grilletes ("The Shackles"), this bold red blend is rich, structured, and unapologetically intense. Aromas of smoke, grilled herbs, dried plum, and ripe blackberry rise from the glass, accented by notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and warm baking spices. The palate is full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit, firm yet polished tannins, and layers of cocoa, espresso, and black pepper. A long, lingering finish showcases subtle oak, earthy spice, and a touch of char, making this a memorable wine with excellent aging potential. The winery describes the wine as dominated by smoky, grilled character with dried plum, late-picked berry flavors, chocolate, and freshly cut oak.
