Purple/black-colored, the Alonso del Yerro has a brooding nose of earth, mineral, blackberry, and blueberry compote. This is followed by a smooth-textured, opulent wine with tons of flavor. It has a long, pure finish and several years of aging potential. It is an excellent value for a Ribera del Duero of this quality.

15 days of fermentation and 23 days of maceration with the skins at a temperature of 30° C (86° F) in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. Aged sur lie for 12 months with batonnage.

Glass-staining purple. Powerful boysenberry and mulberry aromas are complicated by smoked meat and minerals. A sexy vanilla note gains volume with air and carries onto the palate, joining sweet dark berry and candied cherry flavors. Becomes brighter on the finish, which leaves sweet black raspberry and candied floral qualities behind. This is delicious right now.
