Tasting notes
Youthful purple. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe fruits, incense, licorice and candied flowers, and a smoky nuance builds in the glass. Sweet, palate-coating blackberry, cherry liqueur and mocha flavors show very good depth and breadth. Rich and vaguely decadent in style, finishing on a plush dark berry note, with strong tenacity and youthful tannins that come in late to add closing grip.

The entry-level wine here is the 2015 PSI, their regional Tempranillo cuvée with approximately 5% to 10% Garnacha. It fermented in stainless steel and matured mostly in 5,000-liter oak foudres and 10,000-liter oak vats plus some of it in used barrels. Looking back, Peter Sisseck told me he would have liked to harvest the grapes one week earlier. It's a solid PSI that's clean and a little ripe and might give some notes of black olive that give it a little bit of a Rhône twist. 250,000 bottles produced. Sisseck sees this as an improved version of the 2011. It was bottled in the summer of 2017.
