Wine Critic 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. 88 Points – Stephen Tanzer
My Review: This wine was just bad. We tasted flavors of rubber and chalk. We also thought it was bitter and tart to go along with the bad flavors. It was not good.
Food: We did not have it with food.
