title: Quinta Cruz 2010 Silvaspoons Vineyard Souzao (Alta Mesa)
description: The deep, saturated color and vivid, smoky flavors indicate a monster wine, but the reality is more complex and interesting. It smells like boysenberry, grilled beef and black pepper, tastes grapey and berrylike but also roasted and savory. It is surprisingly light-bodied considering how flavorful it is.
variety: Souzao
designation: Silvaspoons Vineyard
