Raspberry red color. Clean and brilliant. Fruity aromas, dark fruits and well-associated oak. Harmonious on the palate with a just the right acidity, freshness and softness. Savory in the mouth. Round tannins. This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of tapas dishes, especially those incorporating earthy wild mushrooms.

I loved the flavor and body of this wine and I am not a red wine drinker. I prefer whites but this one was awesome. No “oaky” taste at all! I purchased this since my red collection is very limited!
