The 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, displaying fresh cherry and dark berry qualities and a hint of black berry. Finishes with gripping tannins and good length, leaving subtle floral note behind.
My Review: This was a dark red wine with some thicker legs on it. The smell I got was a cherry smell along with some pepper. The taste I got was a harsh dry taste with and alcohol finish. I also got some cherry and oak taste on the second round. Stephen Tanzer gave this wine 88 points but I would give this wine a 5 out of 10.
