The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry, violet and plum followed by aromas of blueberry, vanilla, carob and cinnamon. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing roundness, however balanced by alcohol, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blueberry. Petranera ages for about 6 months in barrique followed by at least 3 months of aging in bottle.
