La Capitana is named after the tallest palm tree in the LaPalmeria estate. These wines are distinguished by their harmonious balance between rich fruit character and the complexity of aging in French oak barrels. Contemporary and stylish.

(Highly Recommended)
Deep, saturated blackish-ruby hue. Pure black fruit aromas carry a prominent, minty sweet-oak accent. A rich entry leads a generous, full-bodied palate with soft, chewy tannins. Fruit acidity lends freshness to the palate but still finishes on a thick, hedonistic note. Try with grilled meats.
