Tasting - Familia Pacheco Jumilla

Name: Familia Pacheco Jumilla
Variety: 80% Monastrell, 20% Syrah
Region: Jumilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: This coupage of Monastrell and Syrah is dark red-maroon in color with a full body. Red berry aromas can be appreciated on the nose, with a slight touch of lactose and balsamic sensations. Familia Paco Pacheco Organic is a balanced, full-bodied, fresh wine enhanced by seasoned tannins and the reoccuring traces of ripe fruit.

My Review: This wine had a very distinct new tire smell and some spices on the aroma. After tasting, there was definite spices present with a dry finish that was a bit dry. I did not get fruit flavor from this wine and it was not one of my favorites.

I did not have food with this wine.
