Paso A Paso Tinto
Spain

"The 2007 Paso a Paso Tinto is 100% Tempranillo sourced from vineyards averaging 40 years of age. The color is a saturated purple with fragrant aromas of mineral, scorched earth, and blackberry. The wine has a big core of fruit with enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. This savory, lengthy effort can be enjoyed now but will be at its best from 2010 to 2014."
