At a recent marathon wine tasting in Norfolk, VA at one of my new favorite spots, I tasted Altos de Luzon of 2008. It is from the Jumilla region of Spain and I really enjoyed this wine. After the tasting, this was my choice for a glass.The wine is made from Cabernet, Mouvedre, and Tempranilla. It is considered a table wine but I suggest you will think of it as much more. It has complex long nose of berries and a powerfuld oak-spiced aroma. It has a lush creamy texture offering a sweet black and blue fruit flavors with a hint of cherry vanilla.
If you see this wine please try it. It wasn't real expensive and for you dry red lovers out there, I really enjoyed it. It just was smooth and different and sometimes tasting the same thing all the time is rather boring.
