Aged for seven months in French and American oak barrels, the 2009 Tempranillo has a wonderful, cedar-tinged bouquet that evokes a fine Medoc! It is well-defined and pure, with notes of blackberry and bilberry. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a caressing silky texture. It glides effortlessly to its black cherry and plum finish. This is very fine indeed! Drink now-2016. Importer: Henry Wine Group, Benicia, CA; www.henrywinegroup.com
