The 2006 Tres Patas is a blend of 80% Garnacha and 20% Syrah aged for 6 months in 500-liter barrels. Dark ruby-colored, it offers an expressive nose of cedar, spice box, cherry, and blueberry. Supple-textured and balanced, it has ample spicy fruit, good depth and a moderately long finish. It will evolve for 1-2 years and drink well through 2015.
