The 2007 Barrica Organic is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot aged for 9 months in 33% new French and American oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it offers up scents of Asian spices, pencil lead, mineral, scorched earth, and assorted red fruits. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, chewy, dense, savory wine with enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. This lengthy effort will be at its best from 2012 to 2019.
Uncastellum is an organically certified producer functioning at a high level as these offerings attest.
