Slightly minty and grassy on the nose, and that mild green character persists. The palate is a bit clacky and acidic, yet the flavors evolve and ultimately rest at candied and medicinal. A touch biting but it tastes pretty good and it’s decidedly not sour. A blend of 55% Monastrell with 25% Cabernet Savuignon and 20% Syrah. ——M.S.(2/1/2011)—— 85
