Robert Parker

"The Monte Hiniesta 2012 has a nose of black fruit and spice, quite identifiable as a Tempranillo, with the aromas of wood well integrated with the fruit and medium-bodied palate. Some would say it's a lighter style of Toro, which is rather a good thing, with fine but abundant tannins, clean and well-balanced." (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Excellent value for money from a wine at its peak. Very pleasant with spicy dishes.
