Bodegas Barco de Piedra Tempranillo 2008
Varietal: Tempranillo
Vineyard: Bodegas Barco de Piedra
Region: Ribera del Duero, Spain
This garnet-red colored expression of Tinto del Pais (aka Tempranillo) is aged for 5 months in French (85%) and American (15%) oak. Aromas of spice-box, white pepper, plum, and black cherry carry through to the palate where they are enhanced by earthy and herbaceous undertones with a medium to long finish. This rich and well-balanced wine can be enjoyed now or in the next couple of years with hearty meats or stews or strong cheeses.
