"If you were to ask the average Spanish winemaker in the Rioja wine region
of Spain what they thought of Cabernet Sauvignon, they would probably
smile rather sheepishly and quip that it makes an excellent blending
grape!"
Gorgeous ruby red in color, this medium-bodied wine is Spain's answer to Cabernet Sauvignon, with berry, plum and herbal notes running to a lush finish of tobacco, leather and vanilla.

Racked to carboy 5/12/2018. Left in carboy from May - Nov. Bottled 11/12/2018. Very drinkable at bottling time. Should age to a very nice wine. '
6/8/2019. Tried a bottle WOW! this is delicious! A nice light taste, not as earthy as a cabernet.
