The "noble grape" of Spain
Bodegas Arrocal is run by a husband-and-wife team that both come from long lines of vineyard owners and have put their wealth of knowledge and resources to great use. Their red is made entirely from Tempranillo for a
spicy, dark, full bodied experience.
Read what
Wine Advocate had to say after awarding Arrocal 90 points:
"The 2005 Arrocal is 100% Tempranillo aged 4 months in a mixture of new and used French and American oak. Purple-colored, it offers up fragrant aromas of cedar, spice box, blueberry, and blackberry. Supple-textured, the wine has gobs of sweet fruit, soft tannins, and excellent balance. Drink this outstanding value over the next 3-5 years."
