+1-877-714-WINE(9463) (Toll free phone)"The unbottled 2018 Pepe Yllera now has some Cabernet Sauvignon blended with a majority of Tempranillo that matured in a mixture of 225- and 500-liter oak barrels and tinajas (amphorae) for around six months. This is completely different from the wines from before 2016; it's clean, floral and elegant, with integrated oak and very good freshness. This is still an approachable and highly drinkable red with a harmonious palate and clean, bright flavors. It showcases Yllera's transformation. There are 177,000 liters of this, which means good availability and superb value!"
