Jumilla Red

2012 Jumilla 60% Monastrell, 20% Tempranillo, 10% Syrah, 10% Merlot

The Damn Yankee Jumilla Red from the renowned Jumilla region is an enchanting blend that showcases the rich diversity of its varietals. Composed primarily of Monastrell, with Tempranillo, Syrah, and Merlot contributing to its complexity, this wine presents a deep crimson hue that beckons to be poured. On the palate, it offers a luscious and full-bodied experience, perfectly balanced with high acidity that enlivens each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing notes of ripe dark berries, plum, and a touch of spice, underscored by soft tannins that gracefully round out the profile. This captivating red is dry, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes or simply enjoyed on its own, embodying the bold spirit of Jumilla.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
