March 4, 2018 - Blend of 50% Garnacha with 40% Cariñena and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. PNP, but could have used some air, since it improved in the glass.
Medium Ruby color. Slightly restrained aromas of blackberry, raspberry, leather, cedar, and violets. Medium-full body edgy acid expressive flavors of dark red fruits. Tannins are a bit rigid, but maintain structure through the medium+ finish. Clean, elegant, but still accessible.1 person found this helpful 1,341 views

I would like to give this as a gift to a friend for driving my wife and I to the airport this month. I noticed one review that stated-Roasted raisin fruit. Did you notice that aspect of the wine which to me would be a negative? I am slightly worried that the wine would not reflect a good thank you. (I normally would spend about sixty bucks for a present) Thanks ahead of time for your response. Dave -

Admittedly, I'm on the rookie end of the spectrum in terms of tasting experience, but I would think something dramatic like roasted raisins I would have noticed and there'd be some aspect of the tasting notes that would hint at it.
