Zumaya 2012 Z (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Z
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Zumaya / Ribera del Duero

Bold, medicinal and slightly stalky smelling on the nose, this young Tempranillo is jarring on the palate. Flavors of berry fruits come with oak and saltiness, while the finish is rubbery in feel and herbal in flavor.
