Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits smoky oak, and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with smoky pepper spice, lively acidity. Medium finish, fine grippy tannins, ending with fruit and burnt oak character.

Very smooth, can be drink with and without food. I paired with lamb and it was perfect. The Cabernet overpowers the Tempranillo but the result result is surprisingly good.
