Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The quality/price champion 2018 La Montesa is now 100% Garnacha from organically farmed vineyards from the 100-hectare family property that gives the wine its name. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats and matured in barriques, 85% of them produced with French oak and the rest with American oak. It feels very young, and the oak is still present; and the American oak, which is spicy and smoky, with ashy incense and vanilla with some sweet undertones, gives it a character that brings back the character of the traditional wines from yesteryear in a very clean way. It has vibrant freshness and should develop nicely with a couple of years in bottle. Rating: 93+

Wine Enthusiast
Dark-ruby to the eye, this wine has a bouquet of cherry, blackberry and dried hillside herbs. It is bright on entry, with flavors of cranberry, raspberry, mint and lavender. The finish is marked by notes of orange zest and butterscotch.
