1 person found it helpfulJul 11th, 2014Quite fruit forward on the nose, with cherry and raspberry, a bit of dried herbs, a whiff of orange peel. Very Grenache like (imagine Gredos or Aragon).
On the palate this shows surprisingly sturdy, sightly rustic tannins. Juicy acidity and bright fruit try to balance it out yet it remains quite dry. Quaffable, esp. chilled.
There’s (very) good reason why they don’t make Pinots in Tuscany.
