"(100% monastrell): Inky ruby. Fragrant black and blue fruit aromas, with notes of smoky Indian spices and violet adding complexity. Fleshy, sweet and expansive, offering juicy blueberry and boysenberry flavors and a zesty kick of peppery spices. Shows a creamy quality on the spice-accented finish, with supple tannins adding shape."
