Bodegas Vega Sicilia "Valbuena 5" 2005
Sale Price: $159.00
Wine Style: Red Still Wine
Winemaker's Notes:
Grape Varietal: 85% Tempranillo, 15% Merlot/Malbec
The color is a shiny red cherry which is very profound. As for the aroma, in winemaking and aging, the aim was not extraction (generous vintage), but to avoid the presence of dehydrated fruits or dried by alcohol. The result is pure fresh fruit with a very vibrant character which represent Vega Sicila terroir. On the palate the wine is powerful, as for the vintage, but velvety (avoiding excesses). Very expressive and more forward than 2004.
