Vintage Cellar Review (written by Stephen Tanzer): A blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera, a.k.a. Alicante Bouschet, and 30% Monastrell; fermented in stainless steel, followed by four months in French oak. Bright purple. Cassis, blueberry, pungent herbs and mocha on the nose. Smooth and open-knit on the palate, displaying fresh cherry and dark berry qualities and a hint of black pepper. Finishes with gripping tannins and good length, leaving a subtle floral note behind.
My Review: The color of this wine was very dark red. To the nose, there was a strong berry smell about it. The taste was slightly more sweet than most red wines I have tasted which was satisfying to me. Although it had a better taste than some other reds, I still didn't love it.
