Bodegas Juan Gil
Juan Gil Jumilla Mourvedre
Jumilla, Murcia, Spain
Juan Gil Jiménez first built his winery in 1916 in Jumilla, and passed it down to his future generations. From 100% Monastrell (or Mourvèdre in France), in chalky, stony soils, aromas of dark berry fruits and woody spice. Aged in French oak, palate shows blackberry and plum with earthy wood flavors and notes of cacao and cinnamon spice. Soft ripe tannins, lingering ending with a light toasty character. Great value! Very nice!

For some reason, this wine’s bouquet reminds me of chicken tikka masala and the spicy, sweet aroma of good Indian cooking.
The bottle was recommended to me years ago by a Greek man named Nico who owns a shop in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City.
It’s bouquet is jammy, tart, spicy, sweet and cool air woodsy.
It’s taste a bit more peppery, surprising the palate into a frogmarch of seductive fruitiness, pure essence of vanilla, a complex jam of flavor and woodsiness. Love it.
This wine never disappoints me and at $11.99 from TJ or $13-$15 from a local wine shop, it’s a home base, comfort bottle for a night in.
