2024 Tierras Negras | This is such a good bang for your buck brand. You can’t go wrong with Ocho. This blanco has such bright aromas and flavors from the terroir. Nose: sweet cooked agave, citrus, black pepper, minerals, brine, and very floral. Palate: sweet cooked agave, citrus, black pepper, minerals, brine, and earth. Great mouth feel with a medium finish. Such a great sipper.
