honeydew's Review:

fruity nose. not very dry, mildly sweet even. Nice wine for sipping alone.

LOVE this wine. It was surprisingly good. I had dinner with a group and we wanted to get a bottle there that cost about $40. This one was $38 by the bottle with dinner. It was amazingly good. The nose was perfect with a cherry undertone (to me, at least). It was smooth and rich as you would expect from a cabernet, but not too dry. Everyone enjoyed it.

I love this wine. #1 for a bargin pinot noir is is really good. It is very fruity and easy to drink. It is sweet and goes well with a casual dinner, pizza even. :) I recommend it for anyone looking for a good wine at a bargin price.

honeydew's Review:

The taste of the wine actually impressed me, because initially I wasn't expecting much. There was quite a bit of sediment even in my first glass. I saw a lot of it on the mouth of the bottle, which I did try to clean before pouring. But, I still ended up with it in my glass. I don't even like that when you end up with it in the last bit, but the first glass?? Anyway, the wine itself is balanced and medium bodied. One glass was very satisfying and I really did not feel the need for more. I had it with a meal of pasta and tangy sauce - a great paring. I would have given this one a four, but 3.5 because of my first impression.

I am really enjoying this wine. I saw this wine in the Wines from Spain Far From Ordinary Wine Guide. It says that this one is a blend of 40% Monatrell, 25% Tempranillo (which I love), 20% Cabernet Saivignon (my love), and 15% Petit Verdot. The tasting notes are right on point with my experience, as well. At first taste this wine is quite dry. But it has a nice finish. It went well with a very very rich chocolate truffle I had with it. I would love to try this one out with a nice meal.
