TASTING NOTES:
The regular 2022 Blue Label (there's also a special cuvée in 2022) was still matured in new oak, but they used less toast and barrels from coopers that marked the wine less. It was produced with a blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah and had an élevage of 18 months. It's aromatic, spicy and toasty, with notes of vanilla and cinnamon, ripe berries and aromatic herbs. It's ripe at 15.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.71, 5.5 grams of acidity and three grams of residual sugar. It's medium to full-bodied with abundant, fine-grained tannins and some oak-related flavors.

Hailing from old vines in Jumilla, the 2022 Blue Label is a blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah. Aged for 18 months in French and American oak, the 2022 opens with notes of cherry and currant, complemented by prominent oak and hints of black olive. Richly flavored, its plush, fine-grained tannins create a bold mouthfeel. This is a savory Jumilla red
