2008 'hito' of cepa 21, is a hip, young and balanced wine
The word 'HITO' signifies a milestone. It seems so appropriate to name this beautifully balanced and ruby red young wine. With its bouquet of strawberries and raspberries carried over into the glass accompanied by blackberries and hints of toasty notes, its long elegant finish makes you pour your next glass. Once you've tasted the modernized flavors of Cepa 21 in Ribera del Duero, you realize that you landed an amazing deal. A delightful bottle of wine for under fifteen dollars. Jackpot!
