  Black tea, red fruit, light hints of cedar. There is an unexpected elegance and refinement.

  Deep dark purple red, with a young nose of dark brambly blue and red fruits, flowers, hint of spice and tobacco. This Jumilla red is on the higher end of medium-bodied, fairly well-structured, balance with a bit of tannic edge but eventually faded by the second day, easy drinking and very food friendly especially when paired with a Spanish fare. The flavor components of this Monastrell is dominated by sweet blue and red dried fruits, dried flowers, a bit of tobacco smoke, a fleeting minerality and a slightly savory edge. Though the alcoholic component is surprisingly well-integrated and not obvious on the palate, however, I could certainly feel the effects of the 14% as indicated on the label. Aside from this, the wine is truly a remarkable deal in terms of quality vs. price. Needless to say, this is a very enjoyable wine especially on day two.

  Really great bang for the buck on an everyday red - ripe red fruit up front with a long dry finish. Really shines with food - pizza, pasta, beef.
