Castano Hecula Monastrell 2008

 

“The 2008 Hecula is 100% Monastrell sourced from 35 to 60 year old vines and aged 50% in tank and 50% in French oak.  Purple-colored, it offers up a compelling nose of underbrush, pepper and blueberry.  Ripe, sweetly-fruited, and forward, this crowd-pleaser can be enjoyed now and over the next 4 years.”  89 Points.  -Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate April 2010
