The 2005 Jumilla is a blend of 75% Monastrell, 15% Garnacha, and 10% Syrah with aging in used barriques and demi-muids. It is dark ruby in color with aromas of earth, minerals, kirsch, and black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, with sweet, ripe fruit, a supple feel on the palate, and a long, pure finish, it is hard to believe that $7 can buy so much wine. Drink it over the next two years.
