Mas Collet Selecció Montsant Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

First good wine back from a trip to the islands.
Some islands can get much better wines than others.

A neat blend, ripe cherry nose.
Thick jam persists. A pleasant wave of gravelly fruit, violets, dark cherry, Pomegranate juice.
A great wine to come back to.

After a trip to the Boqueria market in Barcelona and getting ready for our cooking class at Cook and Taste Barcelona

I tried this in a Spanish tapas restaurant in Albuquerque and I thought it was really good.

A big wine that can handle very rich foods

Medium-full bodied, moderate tannins, higher acidity, dry. Currants and plums, some briar. Seems a little hot. Great companion to a grilled ribeye.

Quite powerful this. Slate and bleach cherry on the nose. Medium bodied and smooth, with light tannins. Dark berry, vanilla, and a hint of sweetness. Quite a bit of alcohol in this one.

Light to medium body, smells like red fruits and spice (cinnamon?), tastes of cherry, very fruit forward, with some Carmel like after taste

Birthday bottle of red

Easy drinking. Passé partout

Spicy ! Great
