Gran Reserva

2006 Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon

Balbas Gran Reserva from the 2006 vintage is a stunning red wine hailing from the prestigious Ribera del Duero region. This blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with rich, complex flavors. The wine's acidity is pronounced, adding a refreshing lift that balances the lushness of the fruit. With a firm tannin structure, it exhibits great depth and longevity, making it a fantastic choice for aging. The wine bursts with beautiful fruit intensity, offering layers of blackberry, plum, and hints of dark cherry, complemented by subtle notes of cedar and spice from its time in oak. This Gran Reserva is dry yet mouthwatering, providing a sophisticated and elegant experience perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.
