This blend from La Granja is a nice combination of subtle and stout grapes. The Tempranillo, the stout grape, brings berry and earth notes, while the Grenache, the subtle grape, adds delightful citrus and cherry flavors to the meeting. The overall blend is oak barrelled for 2 months to smooth out the possibly hard Tempranillo element so it doesn't dominate the delicate palate elements of the Grenache.
The nose was of rich red fruits with raspberry and cherry. The palate started tangy-cirtusy like lemon, raspberry, bing cherry, oak, wet grass, leather and chalk. The finish was smooth and long with cherry and mineral chalk. This full bodied red blend is a good catch for the price. Cheers!
