Silly name, and not very Spanish sounding besides, but if you can get past the label you will have in your hands an absolute steal! This is 100% monastrell, same thing as mourvedre, and that means lots of deep, dark, woodsy (not woody) fruit and layers of warm spice. The 2003 got a Best Value designation from the Wine Spectator and this review: "This chewy red offers juicy cherry and plum flavors against a backdrop of game and chocolate notes. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, the finish long and peppery. Drink now through 2007."
