Bodegas Ego, Jumilla (Spain) 2015

Mar 5, 2019

By Marguerite Thomas

 This shrewdly blended fusion of 75% Monastrell (otherwise known as Mourvèdre or Mataro) and Cabernet Sauvignon has berry and dark plum flavors enlivened by hints of coffee.  Fermented in stainless steel, the wine goes through malolactic fermentation in French and American oak barrels, where it remains for 12 months.  The resulting wine is rich and bold, with bouncy tannins, vivacious acidity and a lot of personality.
