The red blend 2016 Berola contains mostly Garnacha and Syrah (not sure what the difference is with Bolé) with a similar profile as the rest of the portfolio, ripe red and black fruit somewhat dulled by the use of oak—in this case, 14 months in French and American oak barrels (70% and 30%, respectively). It has more dark chocolate and vanilla aromas, but I still prefer the Bolé. 100,000 bottles.

This red is thick yet fresh, fruit-centered but with savory elements for balance. Blackberry, currant, licorice, cocoa and loamy earth flavors mingle over firm, well-integrated tannins, focused by balsamic acidity. In the modern style. Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2030. 10,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Campo de Borja Select to Add
