Gordo Monastrell-Cabernet Sauvignon / 750mL

Brilliant ruby-red. Displays vibrant, mineral-accented cherry and dark berry scents that are complicated by suggestions of candied flowers, licorice and exotic spices. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and blackberry flavors that deepen slowly on the back half. Smooth, even tannins frame a very long, penetrating finish that leaves a hint of succulent herbs behind. (raised in new and used French oak barrels) 91 Points Vinous
