Tasting Notes: Produced from estate grown vines, gravity drives all movements of must/wine to minimize hard tannins. The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed but not crushed, macerated for 10 days in temperature controlled tanks followed by aging in new and 1 year old, 50% French and 50% American oak barrels for 6 months. Bottled without filtration after a gentle egg-white fining. In giving Arrocal Ribera 2006 90 points Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, had this to say : Opaque ruby. Potent mulberry and blueberry aromas expand seductively, picking up baking spice and floral qualities. Suave, silky and impressively pure, with vibrant dark berry flavors saved from the brink of jamminess by bright acidity and fine-grained tannins. Impressively juicy and persistent, with excellent palate saturation and clarity. Issue 133, July/Aug '07
