The impressive 1994 Las Monteros is packaged in a heavy, antique bottle. The color is a dark ruby/garnet, and the nose offers more earth, underbrush, and sweet and sour cherry fruit. The wine possesses good depth, medium body, and copious fruit in the mid-palate and finish. Underlying acidity gives freshness and vibrancy to this wine, which should also be drunk over the next 1-2 years.
This winery, situated in the sun-drenched provence of Valencia, has fashioned a very good value.
