From 35 year old vines. The vineyards are farmed organically, with canopy management and natural treatments used instead of artificial chemicals. Fruit was handpicked, fermented separately in small stainless steel tanks, then aged separately in French oak for a period of 14 months after which the final blend was assembled and bottled.
Inky purple, the 2011 has an expressive bouquet of espresso, toasted bread, graphite, wild blueberries, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a full-bodied, full-flavored, plush wine with layers of spicy black fruit. Well balanced, with lingering hints of smoke.
Blend: 86% Tempranillo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot
DECANTER 94 POINTS - "This wine could also be in my 12 greatest Riberas. Delicious, complex, finely sewn, open. Top quality, and at a bargain price."
