TASTING NOTE: The 2012 Finca La Rana is produced with their youngest vines, plus some purchased grapes [from] vineyards they control. The wine matures in used French oak barrels for some ten months, yet the nose does not show any oak-related aromas; it's more about soil and fruit, with some aromas of peat, earth, wet slate, ripe blackberries, and also Mediterranean herbs and licorice. It reminded me of a Douro red with a lighter palate, very fine tannins and lively acidity that make it refreshing, almost effervescent. A worthy follower of the 2011. This wine is a very good value.
