This blend of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Mazuelo and 5% Graciano, with its 14 months of barrel aging is very very serious wine for the money. Dark ruby/garnet color. Firm, well-integrated tannins are coated by thick berry fruit. Some licorice and candied fruit meld with subtle oak notes in the nose. Located in the little village of Oyón (Alava), Bodegas Zuazo Gaston is a family winery owned and managed by Prudencio Zuazo Gaston, where artisan quality wines are produced using family-owned vineyards and state-of-the-art facilities. The Zuazo Gaston family have been grape growers in the Rioja for hundreds of years following the age-old practice of selling off their grapes to the large wine houses
