The 2008 El Arte de Vivir is 100% Tempranillo aged for 8 months in French and American oak. Purple in color, it exhibits a perfume of cedar, leather, spice box, and black fruits. A bit more structured and complex than its sibling, it can be enjoyed over the next 4 years. It is a good value. Importer: Aurelio Cabestrero, Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA; www.grapesofspain.com
