Vintage Cellar Review:
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 bludeberry flavors and gaining sweetness with air. Finishes smooth, long and slightly warm. 89 points - Stephen Tanzer
My Review:
The color was a rusty red. It had a sweet and nutty aroma, with a surprising taste. I could taste cranberries with spicy peppercorn. It was dry and had a long-lasting finish. It was extremely different, which I enjoyed.
I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
