The 2008 Baldoma Seleccion is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, and Bobal aged for 6 months in barrel. Dark ruby-colored, it reveals an enticing perfume of damp earth, blackberry, fig, plum, and lavender. Smooth-textured, flavorful, and easy-going on the palate, it has enough depth, concentration and structure to deliver pleasure over the next 6 years. It, too, is a solid value.
