Blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Graciano and 10% Garnacha, from Sierra de la Demanda, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, cedar and forest floor notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and sweet black plums, notes of oak, cacao and dried herb spice. Fine grainy tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and mineral tang. Nice value.
