The 2000 is a blend of merlot and Monatrell.Very dark garnet, with bright glints of reddish-purple against the light. Subtle and earthy, red berries, cherries and hints of "tree bark," a pleasant earthy woodiness that I often find in Mourvedre (or as the Spanish call it, Monastrell). Ripe fruit and barky notes gain presence when the glass is swirled. Full-bodied, dry and tannic, lots of fruit and soft, fuzzy tannins, a texture so full that the wine almost seems "chewy." Plum and berry flavors are balanced by snappy acidity in a long finish.
