The entry-level 2009 Pruno is predominantly Tempranillo with dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak. Opaque purple in color it offers up a brooding bouquet of earthy minerality Asian spices incense and assorted black fruits. Velvety-textured sweetly-fruited layered relatively forward and lengthy this seamless effort admirably reveals the strengths of the great 2009 vintage and is a superb value to boot. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
