2007 Lopez de Heredia Viña Cubillo Crianza

There has been a lot of drinking in the past few days and one of the wines that we had was this 2007 Lopez de Heredia Viña Cubillo. We are fans of Lopez de Heredia wines, having had their 2002 Lopez de Heredia Viña Bosconia and 2001 Lopez de Heredia Gravonia. The Cubillo already has 9 years of age on it but it was drinking like a very youthful wine. The color was intensely purple. It is a blend of the usual 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho, 5% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo fermented in old oak vats with natural yeasts and matured in barrel for three years.
At a cost of approximately $27.00 it is a fantastic value for an aged Temperanillo.
