A huge wine on its own, the backbone of old school Rioja wines with a splash of Grenache Noir and Carignan, and part of the new wave of Spanish winemaking where it is blended with Cab and/or Merlot
The king of grapes? Big tannins, dense blueberry, plum and prune, it just loves oak. Done on its own, or blended classic rioja style with grenache noir and carignan. Better yet, splash some cab, or blend it 50/50 with merlot.
