Note di degustazione
Ripe, bold, sweet oak. Dry, expressive – opens right up on the palate. More to this than meets the nose, and worth keeping for it. (RH)

(80% tempranillo, 15% cabernet sauvignon and 5% merlot) Vivid ruby-red. Sexy, pinot-like aromas of strawberry, raspberry, potpourri and Asian spices. Then deeper in personality on the palate, offering sweet black raspberry and cherry flavors and a jolt of peppery spice. Packs a punch but shows an elegant side, finishing with very good clarity and spicy persistence.
Peter Sisseck of Pingus fame makes the wines of Hacienda Monasterio. The 2007 Crianza, sourced from estate vineyards, is a blend of 75% Tinto Fino and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec aged for 17 months in 40% new French oak. Deep crimson colored, it offers up an enticing bouquet of mineral, lightly simmered creme de cassis, and compote of black cherry. Savory, ripe, and already complex on the palate, it conceals enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years and will offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2027.
