In his unfinished work, 'The Last Good Country' Hemingway touches on his youth and, as he grew older, an appreciation and respect for the balance found in nature. Hemingway spent years in Spain, he lived it and wrote about it in many forms. The wine industry in Spain has also experienced a youthful phase and followed popular trends. The industry has now matured, and winemakers have embraced the natural balance in the climate and soils that different regions within the country offer. One of the most compelling wine stories of recent decades has been Spain’s spectacular evolution from an exporter of oceans of mediocre, highly commercial dull wine into a source of some of the more delicious, original and sought after wines in the world...
here are two new colors for your crayon box,
JUAN GIL 2007...
with intense deep red and cherry colors, this is a clean and complex red made entirely of Monastrell. Very cool flavors of dark fruit tied together with very attractive aromas of vanilla and subtle notes of new wood; good lively and edgy structure makes it well balanced and friendly.
BORSAO TRES PICOS 2007...
this is all Garnacha with legs dressed in colors of cherry red and shades of purple. There's a bouquet of mature red fruit with traces of flowers that is typical of the best Garnachas. Rich and well structured this red lands on your palate with flavors of blackberries, strawberries, vanilla and plum, all well combined with pleasant tannin.
