Winery review: "Even more so is the 2011 Zerran, which ratchets up the level of concentration and ripe fruit. It reveals abundant kirsch, lavender, black raspberry and dusty, loamy, earthy scents intermixed with notions of spring flowers and blackberries. There is not any oak evident in this dense effort. Its completeness and overall equilibrium are impressive... " 92 points Robert Parker
My review: The earthy aromas are surprisingly fresh, with a spring time oaky smell. Other aromas include black currant with deep cherry and red licorice scents. I'm really starting to favor the Spanish for their excellent wine crafting. A nice sugary cherry flavor hits the palate, like a cherry jolly rancher. Earthy notes in the mix with some oak barrel taste. The wine is complex yet light on the palate, a very smooth tasting wine. I'm definitely a fan of this wine.
This wine was tasted on it's own with no food.
