Producer Notes
Hito is the youngest range of red wines from Bodegas Cepa 21, made from the youngest vines with grafts taken from the most emblematic vines of Bodegas Emilio Moro. Its name refers to the stone posts set in the ground to mark boundaries — a fitting symbol for a wine that marks a new direction for this modern, innovative winery. Picota cherry in color with violet hues. A mature and complex nose of black berry fruits, liquorice, violets, and fine toasting. Medium-bodied with well-polished, rounded tannins. Hints of vanilla coat juicy, fresh fruit — a true reflection of the altitude at which these grapes grow. Long, balanced finish with touches of spicy fruit.

Mike DeSimone of the Wine Enthusiast writes 93 Points | Dark garnet in the glass, this wine offers aromas of cherry cola, vanilla and Mediterranean herbs. The first flavors to hit the palate are pomegranate and Valencia orange, joined by notes of chocolate-covered caramel, fennel pollen and lavender. The interplay of plush tannins and striking acidity remains on the post-palate long after the last sip. — Mike DeSimone
93 Points Robert Parker | This deep ruby-colored wine has a nose of raspberry jam, cocoa butter, and herbs de Provence. It is bright at first sip, with raspberry, red currant, toffee, milk chocolate, and aniseed flavors. Vivid acidity and luxurious tannins stroll hand in hand to a satisfying finish.
91 Points James Suckling | Fine, plush oak spices with dark chocolate, licorice and bay leaves with fresh blackberries, blueberries and mineral. Structured and tannic on the palate with a full body and a spicy medium-long finish.
