A sensational offering from Navarra, Spain. As its composition suggests, it is somewhat Bordeaux like with lots of black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with notions of forest, underbrush and barrique. Full-bodied, dense, rich and intense, this is an impressive red.
This wine pairs very well with most baked or roast fowl, softer cheeses without too much fat. Unusual but successful pairings include clean-flavored seafood with a hint of sweetness, such as simply prepared grilled calamari, sea bass or brook trout.
Blend: 35% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Tempranillo, 10% Syrah
