The 2011 Elios is a blend of Garnacha and Carinena aged for 10 months in oak barrels of different sizes. It’s a fruit-driven Mediterranean blend with aromas of garrigue and ripe red and black fruit, with the oak well-integrated into the wine. The palate has gentle tannins and deep flavors, with moderate acidity. Drink now-2016.
