Dark plums, black cherries and some roasted cumin. A medium-bodied red with a firm, frosted tannin structure and bright flavors of berries, plums, as well as a savory layer of tree bark and spice. Balance and drinkability is the key here. 80% tempranillo and 20% garnacha. Drink or hold.

Palate: Soft tannin makes it more palatable in spite of its young age. Long, excellent aromatic aftertaste.
