Monastrell and Cabernet. The wine is fairly good, though not sure I agree with the 92 and 93 points from Parker and Galloni.

Full bodied, smooth, dark fruits, nice tannins. Always a favorite!

Great full bodied Spanish red. If you like Napa Cab's, you'll likely like this!!

Cedar, lightly toasted oak, clean white oak, lots of vanilla and coconut barrel character, damp tobacco, raspberry hard candy, ripe blueberries. light Brettanomyces, blue mold, milk chocolate, FF but not jammy, solid structure, M+ acidity and tannins, dry finish. A big Spanish red that's complex and a joy to consume.

Took a little while to open up, but then opened up into plush, big fruit. Cherries, figs, vanilla, and chocolate flavors dominate with plush texture and soft tannins. The monastrell and cab blend works very well. May not be for everyone, but definitely easy drinking and delicious.

The Cabernet really complements the Monastrell. Slightly sweet berry flavor nicely balanced with tannins.

Green bell pepper, herbaceous, clean dirt, underripe pears, cherry, ripe strawberry, plumb on the nose. Very fruit forward. Medium plus body and tannin. More off dry than expected. Complex. Lingers on the palate.
