From the bottle:
“Ercavio is made with grapes from old bushvines located on the high plateau of La Mesa de Ocana, Toledo and was barrel aged for 6 months in new French oak barrels.
14.5% Alcohol”
The 2011 Bodegas Mas Que Vinos Ercavio Tempranillo Roble begins with pleasant aromas of smoky dark fruit, cola, licorice and black pepper. When tasting the wine starts fruity but then a surprising amount of earth, coffee, tobacco and chocolate kicks in mid-palate and dominates all the way through the finish. This is not a wine for fans for fruit bombs, but it is quite good and offers a very nice change of pace. It ends dry and grippy with lots of mocha notes. If you enjoy earthy wines, this is one you’ll love.
