Tasting Notes: 89 points - Stephen Tanzer
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. "
My review: This wine smelled fantastically fruity and buttery. It had medium complexity and medium bodied. The fruit on the finish was definitely darker and more concentrated. Not bad.
I had this wine without food.
