Winery review: 89 points - Stephen Tanzer 100% Monastrell, aged in American oak for four months. Bright ruby. Powerful, spicy aromas of dark berry preserves and lavender. Fleshy and round on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and blueberry flavors and gaining sweetness with air. Finishes smooth, long and slightly warm.
My review: This wine was delicious. It had nice aromas of dark fruit and in my opinion tasted a hint of 90% dark chocolate, without the crayon texture. It had a really smooth finish and was very dry. Would probably pair well with chocolate or a red meat.
