Bodegas Alto Almanzora "Este"
2007
$10
45% Monastrell, 25% Tempranillo, additions of Syra, Garnacha, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Robert Parker: 90 pts
Nose: 8 Taste: 7 Value: 8
From the Almansa region in Spain comes this deep red brushed with purple, medium bodied wine with well structured tannins and an alcohol content of 14% giving it structure and balanced heat. A peppery and cherry cola nose enveloped with smoke, spice box and wild blueberries create Este's inviting bouquet. The palate too senses the black pepper, berries and the smoky oak. It's a temptress of a wine yet somehow not overbearing.
