No doubt that this is a New World wine; it is great, but doesn’t taste like anything from Spain. It comes from a handful of California vineyards. It has a very dark color, and gives intense fruit on the tongue and upfront, with more fruit and minerals, licorice and mocha coursing the palate. It gave a wonder finish including hints of chocolate and vanilla.
We matched it with our Saturday night rib eye steak, grilled over charcoal and mesquite chips; corn-on-the-cob, and a terrific salad with lemon and grape oil dressing. Thank you God.
