El Petit Bonhomme 2014
Jumilla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainWinemaker Nathalie Bonhomme puts her name on this Jumilla red that mixes monastrell, garnacha and syrah from bush vines grown in southwest Spain. The monastrell comes off the oldest vines at the plus 25-year mark. It spends only five months in French and American oak to mostly let the blend stretch its legs. Look for a peppery, liquorice, raspberry/cherry fruit aromas with flecks of savoury, dried black fruits. The attack is similar, with more licorice, plums and black cherry/coffee flavours. Lamb chops or barbecue back ribs are a fine match. Solid value.Tasted: 19 December 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $13.29 | 750ml | BCLS |
