Olivares Crianza Monastrell 2016

Tasting: Working with only Monastrell and Garnacha in the undulating hillsides outside of the town of Jumilla, Paco Selva’s vines are on original rootstocks and farmed organically. A rich and powerful wine that shows intensity of black fruit through cassis, blackberry, spices – liquorice, cloves and cassia bark.
