Pinol Ludovicus 2005
Sunday, January 14, 2007
The region is Terra Alta and the wine is Pinol Ludovicus 2005. It is a blend of Garnacha, Tempranillo, Syrah and Cab. Your usual suspects when it comes to Spanish wines but also a very good one. Right out of the bottle this wine has a great fruity nose and a deep ruby color. Its young so the sweetness is there but its also has an earthiness quality to it. The Garnacha gives it some fruit and the other blends give it a bit more structure with a balanced finish. This wine does finish with a bit of spice but with only 3 months of oak barrels the complexity doesn't exist. For $11 you can't beat it and I highly recommend you to give it a try. I am not too hip to straight Tempranillo, I have had a few duds lately so the blends are much nicer.
