Bodegas Rafael Cambra 2005 Minimum Red (Valencia)

Country: Spain / Minimum
Variety: Red Blend Levante
Winery: Bodegas Rafael Cambra / Valencia

Lots of color but quiet and shy, with only minimal expressiveness throughout. The palate offers just one level of baked-fruit flavors, but no variance or complexity. And in the end it’s clean and solid, but more amorphous and monotone than you’d hope for given the price. 70% Monastrell and 30% Cab Franc is the blend; 160 cases made.
