Solanera - should probably do again...
Castano
Solanera
2004
Yecla region in southern Spain
Monastrell 65% -my fave grape (right now)
Cabernet Sauvignon 20%
Tintorera 15%
On back of bottle:
"The resulting wine is deeply colored, with the ripe, rich flavors of the Mediterranean."
Hmmmm... I don't know if I'd call it "flavors of the Mediterranean"... what exactly are those flavors again?
Sendiks in Franklin, WI
