Country: Spain / Negre
Variety: Red Blend Spanish Islands
Winery: Son Bordils / Vi de la Terra Illes Balears
The earthy brick color and dry fruit aromas announce that this isn’t a typical wine. The blend is Merlot, Callet and Syrah, and it hails from the island of Mallorca. The wine is a bit tough and angular, but the plum, raspberry and cherry flavors are tightly formed and fenced in by potent acidity and oak. Interesting but not for everyone.
