"Deep ruby. Aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, enlivened by a peppery element. Broad and fleshy on the palate, offering warm cassis and blueberry flavors and a hint of licorice. Closes with solid grip, dusty tannins and lingering dark fruit character."

"Even better is the 2015 Monte Oton (Grenache), also 100% Grenache, fermented and aged in stainless-steel tanks and bottled early. This is made primarily from 15-year-old dry-farmed, head-pruned vines. It shows a dense ruby color, notes of kirsch, lavender and licorice – serious stuffing for a wine at this price level. I has a medium-bodied, soft and silky finish. Drink now-2018."
