Wine review: 89 points - Stephen Tanzer
100% Monastrell, aged in American oak for four months. Bright ruby. Powerful, spicy aromas of dark berry preserves and lavender. Fleshy and round on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and blueberry flavors and gaining sweetness with air. Finishes smooth, long and slightly warm.
My review: Cosecha, which is Spanish for "harvest," which couldn't describe this any better. A very earthy wine with clear Spanish distinction. Earthy on the nose of brambles and leather. A medium dry body sings of jam, plum, black beans, and dirty seafood. This is a must-have!
