2019 Bodegas Castano 'Alcaria' Old Vines, Yecla

“Vivid ruby. Vibrant, spice- and mineral-accented red and blue fruits on the perfumed nose. Shows very good energy and focus on the palate, offering appealingly sweet black raspberry and boysenberry flavors that deepen through the back half. Comes off lively, but there’s depth here as well. Closes long and supple, with even tannins framing lingering blue fruit and spicecake notes. Drinking Window: 2021-2026. Grape/Blend: 50% Garnacha Tintorerra, 25% Monastrell, 25% Syrah” – Josh Raynolds Review Date: March 2021
