My Review: This wine was a little grapey to the taste and had some cherry tastes as well. I didn't like this wine very much something about it didn't really make it taste right. So I would not go out of my way to buy this wine even though it scored well.
Winery Review: A blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera, a.k.a. Alicante Bouschet, and 30% Monastrell; fermented in stainless steel, followed by four months in French oak. Bright purple. Cassis, blueberry, pungent herbs and mocha on the nose. Smooth and open-knit on the palate, displaying fresh cherry and dark berry qualities and a hint of black pepper. Finishes with gripping tannins and good length, leaving a subtle floral note behind.
