The 2008 Vespres is made up of 80% Garnacha and 20% Samso aged in various sizes of French oak for 8-10 months. Dark ruby red in color, it offers up a fragrant bouquet of mineral, Asian spices, damp earth, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. Sweetly-fruited, layered, and well-balanced, this lengthy effort will continue to evolve for another 2-3 years and provide pleasurable drinking through 2020.
Celler Dosterras’s Garnacha and Samso (Carinena) vines range in age from 40 to 100 years.
