Mad Dogs & Englishmen 2005 Shiraz – Cabernet – Monastrell Red (Jumilla)

Country: Spain / Shiraz – Cabernet – Monastrell
Variety: Red Blend Levante
Winery: Mad Dogs & Englishmen / Jumilla

This catchy named, three-grape blend is a nice wine that’s sinewy and leathery; overall it ranks as a natural and controlled reflection of Jumilla. The nose is forward and fiery, while the palate has berry-driven ripeness and plenty of oak. Better with food; the tannins are kind of scratchy with nothing to absorb them.
