The 2009 Cruz Montesa is made up of 60% Monastrell with the balance Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah aged for 9 months in French oak. Smoke, underbrush, balsamic, blueberry, and blackberry aromas lead to a succulent, forward, tasty offering that will drink nicely over the next 6 years.
Bernabe Navarro owns 88 acres of vine, predominantly old-vine Monastrell.
