Castillo de Monjardin 2008 Tintico Tempranillo (Navarra)

Country: Spain / Tintico
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Castillo de Monjardin / Navarra

A little herbal and minty on the nose, but at this price one can’t complain too mightily. The palate smacks down with bite and acidity, while the flavors run herbal and a little stemmy, with caramel as a backdrop. Roasted and herbal but not offensive, especially at $7 a bottle.
