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. "
In the words of Gary Vaynerchuk this wine had a strong touch of the Oak Monster. It also presented strong notes of caramel, cherry and currant. On the finish I got a beautiful hint of blackberry. This wine was overly dry and had me looking for a glass of water afterwards. It did have good flavor, and finishes strong on a cinnamon flavor. It sounds odd but it reminded me of that smell and flavor of Christmas and had a lovely warm feel to it.
I did not eat food with this wine.
