Viña Aliaga, Cuvée Tinto, Navarra, Spain 2017
{sustainable} 85% Tempranillo, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
BLACK PLUM & BOLD BERRY, CREAMY OAK & TOAST, FIRM BACKBONE
Carlos Aliaga crafted this cuvée through blending one of Navarra’s most beloved traditional grapes (Tempranillo) with a more recent arrival to the area (France’s Cabernet Sauvignon), combining modern and traditional techniques. A structured backbone with firm tannin, berry-licious with a light suggestion of mint or basil on the finish, the package is wrapped up and rounded out with lightly-toasted oak. Wine Authorities Exclusive!
Serving Suggestion: Keep the sausages grilling and the pork bbq slow roasting. This warm and inviting red is excellently-suited to grilled flavors and vegetarian lentil/legume dishes. Enchiladas with mole negro.
