A typical Navarra wine, in that it benefits from both the warm Mediterranean and cooler Atlantic influences. This is an uncomplicated but interesting blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. After six months aging in French oak barrels, the softness of the Merlot grape prevails, but the mature, subtle black fruit aromas of the Cabernet Sauvignon remain. On the nose, look out for delicate aromas of blackberries and blueberries, with an interesting spicy and smoky edge. A good long finish, with round, not too ripe tannins makes this a perfect match for pork, lamb and turkey.
Carbernet Sauvignon, Garnacha Tinta and Merlot are blanded to make Ventus; a fruity and tannin low red cuvee. Used French oak barrels are predominantly employed for the two year vinification process. Ventus's wild berry and cinnamon aroma make it a delightful wine for everyday enjoyment!
A Crianza wine has been aged in oak barrels for a year or more. In this case, it's 14 months in prime French and American oak. The result is an excellent value blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Graciano that's lively, well balanced and expressive, with elegant and well-balanced red berries and spices on the nose. You'll also find it fresh and fulsome, with a mild sweetness from its ripe tannins. And where better to end than on the long and very pleasant finish?
This is a superbly executed Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva. The colour is a rich, medium-dark cherry, the aroma is intense, spicy and fruity and the taste is of very ripe blueberries with a creamy, oaky finish. Very long finish. Not impossible to criticise, but very, very difficult - so we won't!
This is a good blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a topping of Merlot and Cabernet Franc for softness. It comes from a very fine estate where the land hasn't been chemically treated since 1992. There are aromas of ripe fruit with a slight edge of oak, with a lovely long finish. It's ideal with pasta, cheese or cold cuts, and a great one to enjoy with grilled meats (so pick up some next time you’re thinking of having a barbecue).
A superior Cabernet from this young and dynamic winery, which epitomises Spanish wine's new-found vitality. Enate is the top wine maker of Somontano in the foothills of the Pyrenees. They have created a superb wine with this Cabernet Sauvignon which, with the blend of Merlot, delivers a strong burst of red fruit aromas and a wonderfully soft texture. Very good taste and long-lasting aftertaste. A really very pleasing wine.
