La Purisima “Trapio” Monastrell Reserva Yecla 2014

“TRAPIO”

!00% Monastrell (A.K.A Mourvèdre, Mataro) from the Yecla region of South-East Spain. The “Trapio” wine is only made in exceptional years, it is sourced from 50-year-old vines, then hand sorted to choose the best clusters. Both red & black cherries are bright and vibrant for the wine’s age, with secondary notes of vanilla, blackberries, plums and herbs.  A perfect example of what a medium amount of age can do to a moderately priced wine.
