Professional Ratings

90 – James Suckling
“A primary-fruited style with violet reduction and raspberries. Bright and fruity, reminiscent of Beaujolais, and quite enjoyable. Drink now.”

90 – Jeb Dunnuck
“Blueberries, violets, white pepper, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2018 Mo, which is 100% Monastrell from old vines at high elevation, aged entirely in stainless steel. Juicy, medium-bodied, with good acidity and plenty of fruit. Another smoking value from this importer. Drink over the next couple of years.”
