Hecula Monastrell 2007 - $11



We tried the 2005 before and liked it a lot.

David: Beautiful dark crimson in color. Nose of rich dark fruit, sweet oak, cedar and forest floor. Medium bodied. Blueberry fruit on the palate is very dry, not sweet. Definitely more tannic than the 2007. Slightly bitter woody finish. This would be more enjoyable with a few more years of cellaring.
Score 3.8/5
