Winery review: "Inky ruby. Lively, smoke-accented aromas of redcurrant and cherry, with a suave floral quality in the background. Zesty red fruit flavors are complemented by notes of blood orange, rose and musky herbs. Packs a flavorful punch and finishes brisk and spicy, leaving floral pastille notes behind. This wine, which delivers exceptional value, was made by Miguel Angel Rodriguez, winemaker at Vinicola Real, for importer Eric Solomon." Reviewed by: International Wine Cellar - 90pts
My review: Another Spanish wine coming at you, popped the cork on this one and I was transported into an orchard of cherry trees. My nose was picking up strawberry and vanilla aromas with hints of leather. Flavors of deep strawberry and plum were present. A solid wine!
This wine was tasted on it's own with no food.
