El Goru 38 Barrels Monastrell/Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Deep-ruby in color, the wine has a nose of blackberry, dried herbs, bruised raspberry and pomegranate juice. A velvety-textured palate rides on a stream of red-and-black fruit that persists and is elevated by chalky tannins. Grilled meats and roasted portobello mushroom would pair beautifully with this wine. Editors’ Choice. (Reggie Solomon,wineenthusiast.com,Dec. 31, 2024)
