Bodegas Luzón 2011 Luzon Red (Jumilla)

Country: Spain / Luzon
Variety: Red Blend Levante
Winery: Bodegas Luzón / Jumilla

Although the nose and palate are mildly briny and green, there’s enough cherry and berry fruit to keep this good-value red’s head above water. A slightly grating mouthfeel isn’t too punishing, while a long, aggressive finish comes with spice, mint, pepper and a final note of brine and green.
