A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Bobal, Garnacha, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Merlot. Tastes like a middle of the road new style, fruity, oaky Bordeaux. Well made but not my style.
Dark blackish ruby. Very Bordeaux-like nose of dark chocolate, smoky oak, with dark berry fruit underneath. Lots of chocolaty berry fruit accosts the palate and then fades quickly, as I would expect from a wine that discloses that it's made from young vines. A bland example of the "international style" of technologically unflawed wine but completely lacking in any soul. B-. An Eric Solomon selection, this was about $14 at Spec's.
