Wine 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, 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: This wine had a bitter, sour, alcoholic, yet slightly fruity/cherry/blackberry smell. It tasted fruity, kind of sweet, almost like candy and very dry with not a whole lot of aftertaste. Good!
I enjoyed this wine without food.
