The 2012 Dos is a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc and the rest – and this is new in this wine – 20% Monastrell from old vines. The Monastrell is the same used for the Uno and the Bordeaux grapes are sourced from 25-year-old vineyards on stony, sandy soils. The wine fermented in small open-top vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in used French oak barriques for eight months. The nose has aromas of blood orange, flowers, ripe cherries, balsam and spices that are quite harmonious and elegant. The palate is medium to full-bodied, balanced, has fine tannins and a total absence of herbal flavors. These dry-farmed vineyards took the heat and drought from the 2012 vintage quite well. 15,000 bottles produced.
