A very distinctive cherry garnet color in the glass. Light purple accents and a wide brim. The nose is intense and more than anything, exceedingly fresh. Some really nice licorice and mushroom aromas, along with cinnamon and orange peel. The fruit notes are soaring right now. Wild strawberries, juicy plums, and raspberries. A nice bit of oak and plenty of spice.
A Spanish standard bearer and it shows. 94/6 Tempranillo/Graciano all from estate vineyards. Fermented in stainless steel tanks before being transferred to American oak barrels for three years. Medium bodied with soft edges. The palate presents freshness and definite refinement. Grilled meat and and new leather. More nice red fruit throughout that really sings with some air. Spice and a touch of clove on the medium long finish. Worthy of the title of Gran Reserva for sure. It will be fun to see where this is down the road.
