NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Tempranillo from Rioja is a well-crafted expression of the region’s unique terroir.On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries and plums are complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and balanced, with flavors of cherries and spices. The finish is long, with lingering notes of toasted oak and dark chocolate.
