Casa de la Ermita Jumilla (Purple Capsule) 2003
Jumilla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainThe Jumilla wine-growing region is a large area in south-eastern Spain and home to Casa de la Ermita Jumilla (Purple Capsule). The blend is a hefty mix of mourvèdre, merlot, tempranillo, syrah and cabernet sauvignon that is not only tasty but inexplicably $4 less per bottle this year. Look for a robust, chewy red with earthy cooked fruit flavours, rich grainy tannins and a warm spicy, baked cherry fruit finish. Well done.Tasted: 26 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.90 | 750ml | Specialty |
