"The 2010 Sere from Vendrell Rived is a lovely red comprised of a blend of eighty percent Garnacha and twenty percent Samso (Carignan), with the vast majority of the vines forty years of age.

Cellar/Tasting Notes

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Malbec contains 10% Bonarda in its makeup and received the same elevage as the Cabernet. Lovely aromas of black cherry, spice box, tobacco, lavender, and earthy minerals inform the nose of a ripe, succulent, intensely flavored wine that offers outstanding value and is meant for drinking..
