Wine 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.

Personal Review – I found this wine to be medium-bodied, but good.  It was really dry but lacked bitterness, so it was enjoyable.  I tasted a great blend of spices and fruits.  I would have this wine again, but I would want to pair it with foods.


Food - I did not try this wine with food.
