The 2008 Montgo is a blend of 70% Monastrell, 20% Shiraz, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 6 months in seasoned French and American oak. Medium purple in color, it sports an expressive nose of cedar, spice box, scorched earth, underbrush, a hint of balsamic, plum, and black cherry. Layered and ripe on the palate, this is a tasty, forward effort that will deliver plenty of pleasure at a fair price over the next 4 years. Importer: Vinnico Exports; www.vinnico.com
