WINE DESCRIPTION
Vega Sicilia Unico is a Spanish red wine made in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. It is widely considered to be one of the finest red wines in the world, and has earned its reputation for its complexity and elegance. This blend of Tinto Fino, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes yields a wine that has a deep ruby color and aromas of blackberry, cherry, cedar, and spice. On the palate, Unico is full-bodied and concentrated, with a powerful tannic structure and flavors of dark fruits, coffee, tobacco, and leather. Aging in French oak barrels for 20 months gives it a lengthy finish. Vega Sicilia Unico is a wine that is perfect for special occasions and pairs well with steak, lamb, and game dishes.
