"An exceptional Rioja! Dominio del Viento 2011 is composed of Tempranillo and Graciant aged 12 months in French oak barrels. Enticing notes of pencil shavings, blackcurrant, licorice and a touch of barbecue smoke emerge from this medium-bodied, fruity, elegant red with impressive purity, texture and depth. The wine's overall balance and evolved style suggest drinking it now and over the next 5-6 years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

About the wine:
An exceptional Rioja! Dominio del Viento 2011 is a blend of Tempranillo and Graciant aged 12 months in French oak barrels. Seductive notes of pencil shavings, blackcurrant, licorice and a touch of barbecue smoke emerge from this medium-bodied, fruity, elegant red, with impressive purity, texture and depth. The wine's overall balance and evolved style suggest drinking it now and over the next 5-6 years.
