Tasting notes of Sommos Crianza
Colour: Intense cherry red with violet tones.
Nose: Ripe fruit such as plum and black cherry, characteristic of Merlot and spicy notes typical of Syrah such as clove and pepper.
Palate: The power and structure of the Cabernet Sauvignon is accentuated, with sweet and round tannins, which are softened by the barrel ageing.
