Tempranillo 70% Garnacha 30%

Nose of cinnamon black pepper plush spice, hot, bold, raisins.

Full-bodied hearty complex tight wine needs decanting for min of 2 hours

Mouth feel supple, plum, black currants, tingle of effervescence morphing into spice.

Color deep purple, luster of violet, edges of rose near the rim when tilted, great color.

Real cork, this is a young wine that will age for many years 7 to 10 maybe longer.

Price 10.95 makes for a quaffable wine just pass me the paella and lets get hedonistic.

Alc By Vol 14%

35 year old Garnacha vines @ 30% is just right.
