This wine is made in the new ‘global’ style. Artazuri is youthfully ruby-red in color. The nose is all red fruitiness – cherries and raspberries. A sip of this wine brings two words to mind: fruity & bold. While this wine doesn’t say, “I’m from Spain.” Meaning, it’s not terribly unique. However, It is a fine value wine.
