The 2006 Finca Sandoval is composed of 76% Syrah, 13% Mourvedre, and 11% Bobal. Purple in color, it exhibits a fragrant nose of mineral, underbrush, lavender, black cherry, and blueberry. This is followed by a dense, layered, full-bodied wine with copious spice and black fruit notes emerging on the palate. Well balanced and with enough structure to evolve for several years, it will drink well through 2021. Finca Sandoval is the estate of distinguished journalist, bon vivant, and NBA geek, Victor de la Serna. The wines are fermented with native yeasts with ML in barrel followed by 11 to 13 months in French and American oak. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
