Castillo de Monjardin 2002 Crianza Red (Navarra)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Castillo de Monjardin / Crianza

Dry and leafy in the Cru Bourgeois sense of Bordeaux. And that makes sense given that it’s Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo from a cool, tough vintage. While not vegetal, the wine is herbal and nervous, with leafy notes and burnt brown sugar flavors.
