Community Tasting Note

  February 2, 2011 - Compared to Altos de la Hoya 2006 Monastrell http://tinyurl.com/dd3y2q this wine is much much fruitier. It has a little less tannins/tar flavor going on. Much more drinkable to me. Went great with cajun red beans and rice actually. Lots of red fruit, cranberries, cherries, blackberries on the nose, with a little less earth, but still notable. Good balance on fruit/tannins, not as much of a kick in the face of fruit as I'd expect with the nose. Maybe a little awkward going into the finish, but overall a great wine. I'm going to have to keep checking out this region based on my recent experiences and the value present here.
