Castillo de Monesma’s 2008 Joven is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot aged in seasoned oak for 6 months. Aromas of cinnamon, clove, sage, and blackcurrant point to a savory, medium-bodied wine with ample spicy fruit and moderate length. This tasty, easy-going effort is a good value meant for drinking over the next 2-3 years.
