This bottle of Pelta from Valencia, Spain was recommended by a wine store owner with expertise in European Wines. At just under $10 it turned out to be a nice wine at a reasonable price. It combines 80% Tempranillo with 20% Monastrell, which I found to be interesting and a new taste to my palate. The nose has notes of earth and dark, ripe fruit. This is a medium-bodied wine, rich in structure and expansive with notes of black and blueberries on the finish. If you're looking for a nice bottle of wine from Spain, I think you'll enjoy this! -Greg
