Luzon Verde, 2006
This red is 100% Monastrell from the Jumilla region of Spain. Bodegas Luzon has been making some great wines over the past few years and this "organic" entry is also very pleasing. Verde means green in Spanish, but there's nothing green about the taste of this wine. The color is a translucent ruby with purple highlights. This is a medium bodied with a smooth mouth feel and no harsh edges. Berries, plums, and some floral notes on the nose. Crisp and clean with a full dark fruit flavor. It has a soft spice and sweet tannins on the finish. This wine is very drinkable and satisfying. We enjoyed this with some wine braised beef short ribs with sautéed zucchini with red onions. We bought this wine at Esquin Wine store, in Seattle, for about 9 dollars. Very nice.
