"The 2003 Desnudos is 100% Tempranillo sourced from a densely planted 70+ year old vineyard located in Consulta, a sub-region of Mendoza. The wine was fermented with native yeasts and aged for 30 months in French oak before being bottled unfiltered. Opaque purple-colored, it gives up aromas of pain grille, pencil lead, espresso, and blackberry. Full-bodied, structured, and rich on the palate, the wine is loaded with spicy black fruits and enough ripe tannin to support an additional 6-8 years of further evolution in bottle. Beautifully balanced and long in the finish, this is one of the finest Tempranillo-based wines produced outside of Rioja and Ribera del Duero."

Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
