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.
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?
For anyone who loves their Cabernet Sauvignon, here's something intriguingly different. Full-bodied, strong and fruity with a touch of paprika and balsamic, it comes from an area of Spain that has been producing wine since Phoenician times. Lovely aromas of ripe black fruits, great taste and a very long after taste. Lamb, roast beef, turkey - this Cabernet Sauvignon will make a meal of them all.
Young but very ready! Full strong fresh red fruits aromas with an edge of oak. A very intelligent combination of Cabernet Sauvignon with Tempranillo and Merlot, this superb young wine has wonderful blackcurrant aromas, further deepened by liquorice and espresso. Very tasty and fresh - great with good hearty food like stews, grilled or braised lamb.
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!
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!
