The 2005 Uncastellum Barrica Organic is a blend of 50% Tempranillo, 30% Garnacha, and the balance Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It was aged for five months in barrel, 25% new. It offers up an impressive nose of wood smoke, pencil lead, cassis, and cherry. This leads to an elegantly-styled wine with a silky texture, sweet fruit, good depth, and a pure finish. Drink it from 2010 to 2017.
Uncastellum is located in the Cinco Vellas area between Zaragoza and Pamplona in the north.
