The 2008 Menguante Tempranillo comes from younger vines and spent 5 months in new French and American oak. Purple in color with a slightly reticent nose of cedar, underbrush, mineral, and blackberry, on the palate it is succulent bordering on opulent. Layered, ripe, and full-flavored, this lengthy offering over-delivers in a big way. Bodegas Pablo is a family-owned winery in the DO of Carinena. They farm biodynamically and the estate vineyards range in age from 30 to 100+ years. They have maintained the local clone of Garnacha and also have a parcel of the rare Vidadillo grape.Importer: Frontier Wine Imports, Dover, NJ;
