Finca Luzón
Jumilla Altos de Luzón 2003
Ripe and luscious. This rich red is bursting with fruit, with flavors of cherry, boysenberry and currant, supported by well-integrated toasty oak, balanced acidity and ripe tannins. Accents of coffee, mineral and briar add allure, and mingle with the fruit on the long finish. Monastrell (Mourvèdre), Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. Drink now through 2010. 1,500 cases made. –TM Score: 93

Readers looking for a longer-lived offering should check out the 2003 Altos de Luzon. A blend of 50% old vine Mourvedre, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 25% Tempranillo, this deep ruby/purple-hued, medium to full-bodied 2003 possesses tremendous intensity as well as a more backward personality, impressive power, potent tannin, and a long, heady finish. Another 4-6 months of bottle age should result in a serious wine that may merit an outstanding rating. One of the oldest estates in Jumilla, Finca Luzon was founded by the Gil family in 1916. It has been a consistent source of high class values for a number of years, and readers should be happy to know this is completely certified organic agriculture. This offering represents a superb bargain.
