2006 El Jamon Cariñena Tempranillo Crianza - Bodegas San Valero

Tempranillo

El Jamon comes from the heart of the Spanish wine making region of Aragon. Select parcels of fruit are fermented to produce a complex and enticing wine bursting with fresh fruit flavors. It is estate bottled for maximum quality control from vineyard to bottle; aged for six months in barrel and 12 months in bottle. The style of Cariñena can be taken for a classic Rioja. Like its namesake, the renowned cured Spanish ham or “Jamon”, this wine is blessed with its very own distinctive aromas.

“Big black cherry jam, tobacco, meaty nose with peppery, spicy, raspberry jam notes. Round, fresh, slightly tannic palate. Peppery, cedar, tobacco leaf, black cherry and rooty flavours.”
