Shop Review: "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: Purplish in color, the wine looked light and airy, probably medium-bodied. It smelled very sweet, like candy, then peppery afterwards. It was almost as if it tasted like a weak cabernet with a really dry finish. It wasn't too overpowering, but I think I would prefer it with food rather than on its own. Was not paired with any food.
