Sierra Cantabria Col. Privada 2007

Astounding example of heavily ripened Tempranillo from vines more than 50 years old. After reaching ideal sugar and phenolic levels, this is barrel aged for 18 months in 50/50 French/American oak tempering a glorious balance of fruit and spice.

Expert Review

94 score Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Sierra Cantabria Coleccion Privada was aged for 18 months in new French and American oak. It offers up a sexy, kinky, exceptionally perfumed nose of sandalwood, incense, violets, truffle, and wild black berries. Opulent and succulently-fruited on the palate, this already complex wine will blossom over the next 5-6 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2027 if not longer.

Food Pairings

Very versatile. The better cuts of lamb. Most any meat braised or stewed. Game birds and poultry, especially duck.
