Wine Critic Review: 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. " 89 points - Stephen Tanzer
My Review: This was an interesting looking wine. I have never before seen a wine with so much sediment in the bottle and even in the glass when poured. It also had a very strong smell of nail polish remover which is not appetizing. It was an earthy wine but had a slight blueberry aftertaste.
Food: We did not have it with food.
