López Cristóbal, Tinto Roble
(TEEN-to RO-blay)

 

Tasting Notes: Based on the celebrated local clone of Tempranillo, known locally as Tinto del País, this fresh, vibrant, supple Tinto offers great sophistication for a “basic” red. Aged in French and American oak for three months, it has that hint of vanilla and a tannic structure that makes the wine both lush and fresh. Perfect for everyday enjoyment!
