Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Inside the cocina a pot of dried plum mole simmers over an open flame. Stirring it slowly, abuela ushers you over to have a taste. You cross the earthen floor, ducking under tobacco leaves tied with leather strips which hang from the cypress beams overhead. Scents of truffle, strawberry and cardamom linger in the air. As you accept the wooden spoon from her hand, you understand that she is entrusting you with a lineage of recipes that far predates your existence in this place.
