Familia Pacheco has become one of our favorite Spanish producers in recent years because their wines consistently deliver tremendous intensity and depth at very modest prices. Their commitment to Organic and Sustainable agriculture and winemaking practices is undoubtedly one of the driving forces in the high quality of their wines. This week we want to introduce you to their dynamic oak aged blend of Monastrell, Cabernet, and Syrah, the 2017 Jumilla Roble. This plump and expressive effort delivers a hearty pop of ripe blackberry and blueberry accented by appealing notes of cigar humidor, caramelized brown sugar, and double dark chocolate brownies. A kiss of firm tannin keeps the wine serious while the sun baked earth on the finish serves as a constant reminder that this is the real stuff and not just another one of those nondescript, made-up California Red Blends. A hearty “House Red”, the 2017 Jumilla Roble is sure to deliver pleasurable sippling alone or with an assortment of full flavored meals from classics like roasts and burgers right on through to more exotic fare like Moroccan spiced chicken wings and white bean and chorizo chili.
Food Pairing:
Monastrell is a wonderful grape. It always produces a wealth of blue and black fruit and usually offers a nice layer of firm tannin too. That makes for great drinking and excellent food pairing because you can be sure that the wine will not fall short on flavor even if it’s up against something hearty. Of all things, I love it with some raspberry chipotle glazed chicken wings. But it’s also excellent with a cast iron skillet of queso fundido topped with crumbled chorizo and thinly sliced scallions.
