Punchy black-cherry and plum aromas are dry, earthy and toasty, with stony minerality and crispness. This is a full, lively, generous Monastrell offering blackberry, spiced cake and chocolate flavors over a dark, coffee-laden finish that goes the distance. Drink through 2018.

This Monastrell is dark, youthful, concentrated and robust on the nose. In the mouth, it's rich, thick and borderline sticky, with creamy flavors of blackberry and chocolate. That same oak-based creaminess carries onto the finish, which is resiny in feel and chocolaty in flavor.
