Bodegas Olivares is one of the top estates of Jumilla, in Southeastern Spain, and it seems like their Tinto always garners at least 90 points.
Their 2022 Tinto, a Cotes du Rhone-like blend of 75% Monastrell, 15% Syrah, and 10% Garnacha did just that earning a 90-point-rating from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, who called it "highly drinkable."
Yep, that's exactly what it is, and if you like boldly-flavored reds that sell for less than $15, you've got to try this extreme value.
2022 Bodegas Olivares Jumilla Tinto -- Why Should You Buy It?
- This it totally legit, estate-bottled, old vine deliciousness! Boasting big flavor and ripe and supple tannins, the foundation of this wine is old, un-grafted, organic vines planted in the 1930's.
- Monastrell is the key to this wine's success. Known as Mourvedre in France, the grape thrives in the hot, sunny, and dry conditions of Spain's Jumilla region.
- Bodegas Olivares is the home estate of the Selva family, a hard-working, farming family that didn't start bottling their own wines until 1998. Since then, they have helped introduce the world to the wonders of Spanish Monastrell.
- Deeply colored, richly fruited, and spicy, this gently-oaked red showcases the best characteristics of the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
Sounds good right? Trust me, it is! Stock up on this one for your summer cookouts and neighborhood gatherings. Your friends and neighbors will thank you for serving such delicious wine.
