comments:

VC: Raimat, the largest wine producer in the region, covers about a third of Costers del Segre's vineyards. This reliable producer consistently fashions satisfying and well-priced wines from indigenous and international varieties. Deeply colored, this Tempranillo suggests aromas of sultana, spices, cedar and smoke. Round, fruity and spicy on the palate. My note: A lovely smooth red. Try it if you like Merlot. Food matches: cured cheese, red meats, venison.
