Country: Spain / Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon Northern Spain
Winery: Marco Real / Navarra

Initially it’s rugged, but airing reveals black-cherry aromas and dry spice. The palate is crisp and a little sheer by itself, but the call here is that with food it’ll be a winner. Flavors of red fruits are dry and collected, while the finish blends in coffee, spice and a touch of herbal Navarran panache.
