Vinos del Viento Montecito Garnacha 2020

Ruby color. Intense aromas of raspberries, cherries with hints of vanilla, cedar and tobacco. a fruity core and soft and ripe tannins. Long finish.

Montecito means ‘little mountain’ in Spanish. The vineyards are situated at the base of the Moncayo mountain and the Sistema Ibérico mountain range and that, coupled with the fact that winegrower Michael Cooper was born and raised in Montecito, made the name seem like a perfect fit. This is actually a ‘Crianza’ but they prefer not to label it as such. It has been matured in French oak (223L and 500L) for 18 months and is fine, elegant and expressive.
