Castaño Santa Monastrell Garnacha 2013
Yecla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainA new blend of old vines, this is unirrigated 45 year old bush vines of monastrell and garnacha grown at altitude in Yecla. Ten months in American and French oak give a stridently firm wood frame. High toned, tight cassis and plum, with dusty, dusky tannins. Missing some of the fruit fleshiness needed, but a solid, bigger red ready to take on grilled ribs.Tasted: 14 September 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - The Delf Group |
