This wine does not have the DO classification because of use of Cab Sauv, rather it is Vino de la Tierra, equivalent of Vin d' Pays in France. It combines perfectly fruit, acidity tannins, and wood. On blind I would rather say it is Supertoscan than Spanish wine. Very nice drink indeed with excellent potential to age.
