Jumilla is a municipality in southeastern Spain. It is located in the province of Murcia, close to the town of Yecla, and is a Spanish Denominacion de Origen (DO) for wines.
The wine is blended with Monastrell, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and small percentage of Merlot & Petit Verdot . Monastrell (Mourvedre) is native to Spain, where it is second only to Grenache (Garnacha) in importance.
Dark ruby colored. Displays loads of herbs, dried apricot & raisin. A beautiful core of ripe fruit such as black currant, plum, and forest floor lead to a full body, with fine tannins and a sweetly finish. Long & polished. The wine needs to breathe 15-20 minutes before serve. A great value from Jumilla, drink now to 2012.
