The 2008 Venta La Ossa is 95% Tempranillo and 5% Syrah aged in new French oak for 12 months. This full-bodied effort exhibits aromas and flavors of wood smoke, mineral, violets, and blackberry. The wine opens in the glass to reveal spice notes (pepper, clove, sage) and plenty of savory fruit. This well-balanced, lengthy Tempranillo will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2023.
