WINE DESCRIPTION
This is a full-bodied Spanish red from the legendary Bodega Contador (Benjamín Romeo). A classic Rioja blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha, this wine presents ripe dark fruit on the nose, with a hint of spice. On the palate, the flavor is bold and concentrated, with blackberry and plum notes, balanced acidity, and long, lingering tannins. In the glass, the wine is deep ruby in color, and it has excellent complexity and intensity. Enjoy now or cellar for the next 10 years.
