The 2006 Carroleon is 100% Prieto Picudo sourced from a single estate vineyard and aged for 15 months in new French and American oak. Purple-colored, it offers up a fragrant bouquet of pain grille, damp earth, underbrush, black cherry, and plum. This leads to a medium-bodied, finesse-styled wine with racy red fruit flavors, plenty of spice, leather, and enough stuffing to evolve for 2-3 years. Drink this unique effort from 2010 to 2018. Vinedos y Bodega Pardevalles is located in the new DO of Tierras de Leon, created in 2005. It works exclusively with the indigenous grape variety Prieto Picudo.
