2008 Casa Castillo Monastrell

A Red wine (Monastrell) from Julia Roch E Hijos in Spain.

Description/Review: Deep ruby. Fresh red and dark berries on the nose, with complicating notes of cracked pepper, black tea and crushed violet. Lively and precise on the palate, offering sweet red- and blackcurrant flavors and a touch of candied licorice. Silky tannins add shape and grip to the long, sweet, spicy finish. This represents superb value. - Josh Raynolds
