Bodegas Ego Goru 18 M 2016

Baby Clio. 92 Pts Wine Spectator at a release price of $85 a bottle

The Jumilla region in Spain's southeast has garnered a stellar reputation for its old vine grapes, particularly Monsatrell and the dense, dark, concentrated wines it produces. We have managed to source one that really bolsters that reputation. Ego Bodegas was started in 2011 specifically to make outstanding wines from Jumilla's old vines. This warm continental region gets over 3000 hours of sunshine a year which is ideal for ripening Monastrell as well as Syrah and Petit Verdot

The vineyards at Bodegas Goru lie at an altitude of over 2800 feet which creates a cooling effect that balances the ripening and lets the grapes evolve slowly with incredible nuances. The vines are 50 years old, so they offer very low yields which adds to the complexity and concentration. This wine was aged 18 months in new French and American oak barrels, hence the name 18M.

“This big red is bold yet balanced. Blackberry and currant flavors are ripe yet remain fresh, backed by licorice, cocoa, sanguine and blood orange notes. The muscular tannins are well-integrated, giving way to a floral finish. Monastrell, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028.”
