The Wine Advocate:

"The 2013 Pago Valdebellón, the single vineyard from the plot that names the wine, is pure Cabernet Sauvignon located at 850 meters altitude on white limestone-rich soils surrounded by pine trees, where the variety achieves the best ripeness among all their vineyards. The grapes were picked on October 18th, and the vines yielded 3,200 kilos of grapes per hectare. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and a total maceration time of 12 days, quite short. All movements here are done by gravity. Malolactic was carried out in new French barriques, where the wine matured for 18 months. This cool year shows the herbal and peppery aromas of the variety, with notes of bell pepper and tomato leaf plus a creamy touch of oak, because the barrels seem to have marked the wine more. The palate is medium-bodied with those herbal flavors providing a slightly bitter finish."
