FINCA LUZON VERDE - 2004

The "Verde" in the name of this wine refers to the fact that it has been made with organic grapes. Verde means green in Spanish. The back label even features a sketch of a lawnmower. From Jumilla, it is made from 100% Monastrell.

TASTING NOTES:

Plum and minerals with heavy mouthfeel and slight green vegetable notes. Very nice purple color with dark fruit aromas.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

86 PTS
I wasn't impressed with this wine. It tastes flat rather than juicy and refreshing. At $6 a bottle it is a tremendous value wine. Slightly above average and delivers excellent value, but Spain is offering lots of affordable options under $10. There are better Spanish reds to spend your "verde" on.
