2008 Casa Castillo Monastrell - Jumilla

Casa Castillo, 100% Monastrell from Jumilla, is an outstanding value. It's been a best seller since day one in the Mill Valley store. " 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 black currant flavors and a touch of candied licorice. Silky tannins add shape and grip to the long, sweet, spicy finish. This represents superb value." International Wine Cellar 90 points.
