Uva de Vida
Biográfico Tinto
A high toned Spanish red with beautiful structure, silky tannins, and a delicate nose. Notes of fresh and dried blueberry, black plum, and more anise, mushroom, and savoury spice now emerging beautifully with some age. A terrific food wine for any number of dishes you don't want to over power but are looking to compliment with some earthy depth and minerality, that stolid virtue of Graciano.
