A delicious, meaty Mataro from old dry farmed head trained vineyards. The aroma is all about earth, meat and dark berry fruit, all of which come through clearly on the palate, with the berries coming forward in the finish with solid tannin structure that delivers enough grip for a slow roasted beef tenderloin — and go ahead and add that blue cheese butter!
