| SAN JOSÉ DE AGUARÓN RESERVA 2012 DOP Cariñena |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
MONASTERIO DE LAS VIÑAS |
| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Gently cedary, spicy, intense, plum nose with some cedar-sandalwood notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, ripe plum-cherry-apple flavours with a high acid, sandalwood finish. According to the winery website this blend of 70% Garnacha, 20% Tempranillo and 10% Cariñena has 13.5% alcohol on the label (only 13% on the winery website) and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L170230 on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 88-points / BUY - Red licorice and red plum nose; medium-bodied, dry, firmly structured raspberry flavour with lively acidity. Seems very youthful for a 2012. The 2008 (**) was released on September 17, 2016 at $14.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: Aromas of raw oak, related spice, vanilla and berry fruits lead to a fresh palate that's slightly choppy in feel. With its cherry, raspberry and oak flavors this blend of Garnacha, Tempranillo and Carignan blend finishes dry, spicy and steady. Score - 88 (Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 11, 2016) |
