Vinas del Cenit’s 2008 Las Brisas Tinto is 100% Tempranillo (as are all of these wines) aged for 4-6 months in French oak. Cherry red in color, the nose displays spice box, violets, and black cherry. Forward and fruity on the palate with no hard edges, this crowd-pleasing effort can be enjoyed over the next 3 years. It is a very good value. Importer: Aviva Vino, New York, NY; tel. (212) 244-4495
