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.
My review: This was delicious. Nice and fresh, and semi sweet on the palette. The dark fruit and hints of spice left a very smooth finish. I would definitely recommend getting this wine if you are feeling a red wine that is not too powerful.
