The 2016 Finca Canal Uco comes from the traditional part of Altamira across the street from the Piedra Infinita vineyard, with slightly deeper soils, less limestone and more ripeness and slightly more generous wines. Here, they do their best to avoid sweetness in the wines through ripeness. But the wine is the expression of the place, a different interpretation of Altamira, with a little more fruit in the nose and some notes reminiscent of a wine from the Northern Rhone: olives and iron and slightly coarser tannins. There will be people that prefer the power here and others that like the austerity of Piedra Infinita. RP
Love the blackberry aromas with dried violets and other flowers. Full body. Powerful tannins, but extremely creamy and polished. The fine tannins caress your palate. JS

It's aromatic and floral, with a soft texture, round and fine tannins and very clean and focused flavors. It's juicy and very tasty in a gentler way. RP
