Tempranillo Peludo a Sonsierra Rioja native grape.Grapes sourced from 'La Canoca' Vineyard.
Critic tasting note: "Slightly tighter and more complex than previous years, this single- vineyard wine delivers a ton of spice and herbs on a masculine bouquet and palate. Well-blended acids and tannins allow for it to be drunk now or over the next five to eight years. About 4,000 cases made. Imported by Tempranillo, Inc." - 93/100, Wine Enthusiast
