Item No. 87817
winemaker's notes:

100% Monastrell from 45 year old vines.  Deep violet. Aromas of blackcurrant, black tea, black berry, smoke. Very chewy and rich with good framing tannins and minerality.
 

"A serious effort, the 2004 Juan Gil is fashioned from 45-year-old Mourvedre vines and is aged for 12 months in American and French oak. This rich, full-bodied, inky/purple-tinged cuvee exhibits aromas of scorched earth, blueberries, licorice, and pepper, a savory, layered texture, and remarkable opulence for a Mourvedre. Drink it over the next 3-4 years."  The Wine Advocate

A Customer - Texas
You would be a fool to not purchase a bottle of Juan Gil. If you can find it. The winemakers are first class and this bottle is definetly drinkable now, but you can also lay down for a few years and let it come alive. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, DO NOT PASS UP.

A Customer - Chicago area
For the price, Juan Gil is one of the best. It is slightly tannic in the beginning, but mellows out. Drink by itself or with a nice steak and salad. Very nice wine. The 03 was slightly better. Drink now or hold for 6 mo or longer to let it settle down.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
Organically Grown Grapes
These wines are made from organically grown grapes from vineyards dedicated to sustainable farming.

Collectible wine
Collectible
These wines will improve from additional bottle age, when properly stored, and may show the greatest potential to increase in value.
