Winery Review: 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, displyaing 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: This wine had a what smelled like pond florals on the nose. There was also a hint of pepper on the palate mixed with dark berries. This wine was dry. It was not my favorite of the day.
I did not try this with food.
