Wine o' the week

This week's wine is Proyecto 4, a tasty combination of 4 different varietals. It costs around $9.99, and it's one first wines we found when we started trying new types (not just cabernet and shiraz, I mean). Notice, it includes Mourvèdre and Grenache- YUM. I highly recommend.
From the website... "Bodegas Concavins epitomizes this push to modernity with its Proyecto 4, a sumptuous blend of 4 harmonious grape varietals from 4 of Spain's premier Mediterranean wine regions, all aged for 4 months in new French and American oak."
Tasting Notes
"Very deep purple-red color. On the nose, it is fruity and spicy, with a hint of vanilla coming from the oak aging. It is round, supple, and fruit-driven in the mouth, with a long and elegant finish."
The Four Varietals
Cabernet Sauvignon 48%
Tempranillo 32%
Monastrell (Mourvèdre) 13%
Garnacha (Grenache) 7%
