Parés Baltà 2011 Mas Elena Merlot-Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon Red (Penedès)

Country: Spain / Mas Elena Merlot-Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Catalonia
Winery: Parés Baltà / Penedès

Rubbery and gaseous smelling, this Bordeaux blend also sports plum and berry scents. The palate is solid but somewhat lean, hollow and acidic. Flavors of tomato sauce, red currant and briny berry fruits finish scratchy, with high acidity.
