OUR VISION FOR THE WINE:
We're thrilled that the most common descriptor we get about this wine is "delicious!". We wanted to make a wine that is medium bodied, fragrant, intriguiging, versatile and...delicious.
 
In life to be in the middle is sometimes seen as a bad thing but for us it means you are the best of everything, a well-rounded student or athlete. Alto! Alto!! red should be: medium bodied: medium in aromatics (with carbonic lift, spice, herbs); medium in fruit (showing red, black and blue); and medium in structure (refreshing acidity and tannin to cut the plump fruit).
 
TASTING NOTE:
	
bright purple with ruby inflection:
	
blackberry, raspberry, plum, anise, nuances of tobacco leaf and woody spice;
	
to drink - medium weight, juicy, smashable palate, just the right amount of sour cherry acidity, finished with a refreshingly fine tannin profile.
 
ALTO! ALTO!!:
This is the label where we take the opportunity to be creative and just make wine for pleasure. We want to avoid classic limitations, rules or definitions - if it feels good, do it!
