2004 Castano Solanera $14.99


Parker gave this 92 points. With a blend of 65% Monastrell, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Tintorera, this wine is aged for 10 months in oak.

Another wine that is rich red in color, hints of rich red fruit that has been drying on a rack. Very light notes of minerals and something like wet fur...

Pretty big on the palate! Black pepper and spice come out of the front gate. The finish was rather sad. Kinda just went away without saying it was leaving. Sad.

Tasted 5/09
