Marques Escriba 2013 Monastrell-Tempranillo Red (Jumilla)

Country: Spain / Levante
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Marques Escriba / Monastrell-Tempranillo

Wiry and volatile aromas of vinegar and saucy berry fruits fail to impress. This Monastrell-Tempranillo blend is hard and tannic, with murky berry flavors that are also a bit weedy. Heat and a lack of ripeness mar the finish.
