Tarima Organic Alicante Monastrell
Alicante, Valencia, Spain
Super ripe, fruit driven, big bodied wine. 14.5% alcohol puts it out of balance though...

Had this in class for a demo of wines made with organic grapes. Ripe red fruits, elevated acidity, moderate tannins, elevated body.

Having this at a wine and tapas bar JFK. Glad to have an organic wine. Not bad. Dry, but light with lots of fruity flavor.

The Wine Advocate - "From another organically certified vineyard, the 2012 Tarima Monastrell Organic displays an opaque purple color along with abundant blueberry and black raspberry fruit intermixed with a hint of crushed chalk. Medium to full-bodied with amazing concentration, this big, savory, mouthfilling red should drink nicely for 5-6 years."

Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Bright purple. Fresh, spice-accented dark berry scents, complicated by lavender and peppery spices. Fleshy and smooth in texture, offering sweet blackberry and spicecake flavors and a hint of licorice. Fine-grained tannins add shape to the finish, which leaves floral and allspice notes behind. It's hard to beat this wine for sheer value."
