Critic 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.
My Review: This wine had a very interesting smell to it. It smelled like flowers, but at the same time smelled spicy. It reminded me a lot of when you put spices on your stove to make the house smell good. The taste of this wine was not my favorite, but it was not that bad. I got some fruity flavors, but to me it felt like it should be a hot drink.
Overall, this was not one of my favorite wines. I think it would pair well with a light dessert.
