Monastrell from Jumilla

July 2, 2011 by greg Leave a Comment

 

On Greg’s palate this is an 89 pointer from one of my favorite regions of Spain – Jumilla. This has a deep red color and the aromas incite tart red raspberries and earth. On the palate it is acidic, which I love, and tannic with earthy red fruits just like the nose. There are very subtle hints of licorice and plums. I wish I had more of the $15 wine I got from Wine Library.
