The 2011 VT Vendimia Seleccionada contains 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, and the French varieties clearly dominate the nose and add plenty of herbal aromas with notes of bell pepper that are quite pungent, and at the same time, intermingled with aromas of very ripe blackberry. Very un-Ribera with some fierce tannins and a dry finish.
