Violet color. Aromas and flavors of plum, cocoa powder, and dried herbs and juniper berries with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, intriguing, medium-length finish that presents notes of bramble berries, black berries, cedar, and chicory with woody, medium tannins and light oak flavor. A beautiful red blend that is the perfect table wine for grilled meats and roast vegetables.

While there are several important red wine regions in Spain, such as Rioja, Priorat and Ribera del Duero, other regions are home to some distinctive wines. The largest of these is Castilla-La Mancha, neat the cities of Toledo and Madrid in central Spain. This is one of the largest expanses of vineyards in the world; red wines range from lighter-styled reds to Gran Riservas made from Tempranillo, much in the style of the best wines of Rioja. Wines from La Mancha are relative values.

Other regions include Catalonia in northeastern Spain where Penedès and Empordà wines originate as well as Alicante from the province of Valencia on Spain's south east coast.
