Lujuria 2002
Yecla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainLujuria is one of those savvy Vancouver wine stories. Local north shore artist Melanie St. George had her art spotted at an Esplanade Starbucks and the next thing you know it's on the label of Lujuria, an inexpensive Spanish red imported by Next Beverage. At 8.95 anything that's wet is good but this 70/30 blend of monastrell (mourvèdre) / merlot is better than that. Look for an earthy dark chocolate-scented red with plum fruit undertones. It's Spanish dry but round and soft with peppery, earthy, smoky black cherry. Tapas anyone. Certainly good value.Tasted: 27 August 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $8.95 | 750ml |
