The 2011 Armantes Vendimia Seleccionada is a blend of Garnacha (60%) with Tempranillo, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. One-third of the wine aged in oak barrels for one year, while the rest matured in vat before bottling. The nose shows good integration between fruit and oak, with notes of cherries and spices. The palate is medium-bodied, with ripe flavors, some jamminess and abundant, dusty tannins that would require some food and/or additional time in bottle. 13,300 bottles produced.
