Variety:Macon - Monastrell

Region: Alicante

Country: Spain

Year: 2013

Price: $9.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review: 90 pts, Stephen Tanzer
Bright purple.  High-pitched red and dark berry scents show good clarity and pick up a licorice nuance with air.  Tangy and focused on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry and spicecake flavors with an exotic touch of candied violet.  Closes spicy and long, with silky tannins building slowly and adding gentle grip.  This is a fantastic value.


My review:  This wine was very spicy in smell.  I could taste the cherries.  The flavor was very harsh and sour.  I would say this wine was very acidic.  I did not try this wine with any food.
