Tasting: Torre Castillo Alegre


  • Name: Torre Castillo Alegre
  • Variety: Monastrell
  • Country: Spain
  • Region: Jumilla
  • Year: 2010
  • Price: $9.95
Shop Review: 4 months in new American oak barrels Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.

My Review: This wine had a maraschino cherry smell. It had a good grip and was very sweet. It would pair well with chocolate.

I did not try this wine with food.
