Bodegas Juan Gil Juan Gil Jumilla Mourvedre 2015
A phenomenal value A phenomenal red from Spain that sells for a song. Big and full-bodied, California wine lovers will take to this wine easily. 91+ Points Robert Parker: "The 2015 Juan Gil (silver label) is their pure Monastrell aged in oak for 12 months. The profile of this wine has changed, and there is now no trace of oak; it feels a lot more focused, fresh and approachable, with berries, Mediterranean herbs and balsamic notes, quite intense. The palate is very tasty, not terribly complex, with fine tannins, good balance and freshness. Approachable and easy to drink. Bravo for the change!"

Sipping Fine Wine 
Juan Gil Jiménez first built his winery in 1916 in Jumilla, and passed it down to his future generations. From 100% Monastrell (or Mourvèdre in France), in chalky, stony soils, aromas of dark berry fruits and woody spice. Aged in French oak, palate shows blackberry and plum with earthy wood flavors and notes of cacao and cinnamon spice. Soft ripe tannins, lingering ending with a light toasty character. Great value! Very nice!

For some reason, this wine’s bouquet reminds me of chicken tikka masala and the spicy, sweet aroma of good Indian cooking. The bottle was recommended to me years ago by a Greek man named Nico who owns a shop in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City. It’s bouquet is jammy, tart, spicy, sweet and cool air woodsy. It’s taste a bit more peppery, surprising the palate into a frogmarch of seductive fruitiness, pure essence of vanilla, a complex jam of flavor and woodsiness. Love it. This wine never disappoints me and at $11.99 from TJ or $13-$15 from a local wine shop, it’s a home base, comfort bottle for a night in.
