點擊次數(shù)：5485

The 2010 Minimum is a blend of two-thirds Monastrell and one-third Cabernet Franc. The latter imparts an attractive leafiness to the brambly black fruit that is imbued with earthiness. The palate is medium-bodied with a tarry entry. It has good weight in the mouth with clean, brambly black fruit and a subtle white pepper note towards the finish that has a pleasing gentle grip. This is very fine. Drink now-2018. Rafael Cambra established his bodega in 2001 when he acquired a parcel of un-grafted 50-year old Monastrell vines located at 650 meters, that he augmented with some high-density plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. He is a winemaker who has adopted a minimal intervention policy and ages the wines in 500 liter French oak barrels. The wines are neither fined nor filtered. These good wines are sometimes let down by a lack of synergy between varieties, as if two people are dancing to different tunes. Importer: Tom George, Frontier Wine Imports, Dover, NJ; tel.
