Coca I Fito's 2009 Jaspi Negre is a blend of 40% Garnacha, 30% Carinena, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo aged 4 months in French and American oak. Earthy minerals, licorice, espresso, violets, black cherry, and black plum aromas inform the nose of this easy-going, ripe, friendly wine. It has very good volume, succulent flavors, and a medium-long finish. Its precision balance will allow it to drink well for another 6-8 years.
