The 2021 Tempranillo 9 Meses hails from Castrillo del Duero and, as the name suggests, spent nine months in both American and French oak barrels. Garnet-red with a purple sheen. The nose features plum and sour cherry along with balsamic and spicy notes. Indulgent and plush on the palate, the grippy tannins and mild acidity combine for a bold red with a fruity finish. This is a modern Ribera wine.
