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: I did not enjoy this one very much. I thought the nose was a little metallic and found it to be very unique. The oak came out on the palate a little bit along with the berries.
I did not try this with food.
