Vintage Cellar Review:  75% Grenache, 25% Tempranillo. Aged 3 months in American Oak casks. Ruby red in color, with creamy aromas of earth and cherry. 

Flavor turns toward deeper and darker black cherry and raspberry on a medium framework. A subtle earthiness underneath the bright fruit adds some depth and complexity.

My Review:  This wine was fruity on the nose, with an earthy flavor.  The oak aging definitely came through on the palate with this wine.  I tried this wine on its own without food.
