Plum, black cherry, licorice and mineral flavors mingle in this modern red, which has a good balance of firm, well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity, with a long finish of flowers and mineral. Not showy, but deep. Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2015. 900 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Jumilla Select to Add

Ripe, dense and powerful, with on onslaught of raisin, spice, pepper and leather on the nose. The palate is direct and pure, with clean flavors of berry, spice and chocolate leading to a long, layered finish. Beautiful wine; one of the best I’ve had from this region. 70% Monastrell with 20% Cabernet and 10% Syrah.——M.S.(12/15/2010)—— 93
