Crimson red with ruby red hues, it displays soft aromas of toasted oak and vanilla. Structured and smooth it showcases a savoury maturity and elegant tannins. Good balance between fruits and spice in its long and elegant finish.

Wine Spectator 89 points - Notes of toasted spices and warm brick suffuse this traditional red, accenting cherry, berry, leafy and vanilla flavors that stay focused, thanks to lively acidity. Expressive. Drink now through 2015. 300,000 cases made. From Spain. -Thomas Matthews (Sep 4 2012)

Wine maker notes

Winemaking process: After destemming and light crushing, the selected grapes underwent tumultous fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 9 days at a temperature of 25ºC (This process involves moving the must and the skins daily inside the tank to favor color extraction). Aging: 12 months in American white oak barriques of medium toast with racking every 6 months for natural clarification.

Alcohol content: 13%
