Website www.bodegasierranorte.comOverview We’re firm believers that Spain
produces some of the best values in
the wine world, and this bottle is
great evidence. Emphasizing not just
the more lauded Tempranillo but also
Bobal, a grape that doesn't get much
respect in the rest of Spain, Sierra
Norte produces a wine that is as easy
to like as it is to pair with food.
Nose It has a musty, Old World
character, along with green pepper
and red fruit.
Mouth Red fruit dominates here,
accompanied by a hint of vanilla.
And there’s a great balance between
acidity and tannins.
