Señorí­o de Nevada 1999 [Red]
Producer: Señorí­o de Nevada
Region: Granada area

Located in the Sierra Nevada valley near Granada, the Señorí­o de Nevada winery is outside the boundaries of any of Spain's wine denominations [DO's]. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Syrah (20%), aged 10 months in American oak barrels, this full bodied red shows real promise and should work well with a grilled steak or roast rack of lamb.

Dark inky garnate color with a purple tinge. Somewhat closed nose shows ripe powerful, full bodied palate reflects the nose [blueberries], with firm tannins, crisp acidity and good length. Needs time to mellow out a rather tannic finish.
