Wine Review: This very dark purple colored wine opens with a musty oak and black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, Old-World styled and very easy to enjoy. The flavor profile is a mild oak infused black cherry with notes of boysenberry and plum. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins hang on for quite some time after the wine is gone. This wine would pair well with slow cooked beef brisket. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano from old vines. Mature low-yielding estate vineyards yield a concentrated wine, aged 18 months in American oak. Bouquet of ripe red fruit is well integrated with toasty/balsamic notes, rich texture from a great vintage offering plenty of stuffing for the cellar, while elegant Rioja acidity keeps it fresh.
