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 pepper. Finishes with gripping tannins and good length, leaving a subtle floral note behind.
My Review: This red wine had a bright purple color and it smelled like sharpees mixed with colored markers. It had a hint of cherry and dark berries mixed in with it. This red wine tasted like chocolate and seemed like it would go well with an italian dinner.
