A blend of half Tempranillo and half Grenache, this nicely marries the strengths of both grapes, albeit in a rather high alcohol style. Bright cranberry and cherry fruit with a touch of sweetness, perhaps from the alcohol, punches through. Aging in a mix of French and American barrels—20% new—adds lovely accents of toasted hazelnuts and a lick of caramel.
