winemaker's notes:
The 2004 Vega Sindoa Cabernet-Tempranillo (55% and 45% respectively) experienced malolactic in French oak and was aged 13 months in both new and used wood. An amazing value, it boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as a big, sweet perfume of blackberries, currants, licorice, and smoked herbs. Supple-textured and medium-bodied, with loads of fruit, this is an extraordinary red to enjoy over the next 1-3 years. - The Wine Advocate
Coffee and smoke notes frame black fruit flavors in this extracted red. It has good density, with licorice and mineral accents. A bit austere, but balanced. Drink now through 2012.— A Best Value, Wine Spectator
