This beautiful label portrays a blended wine of 50% Monastrell and 50% Syrah from Spain. I’ve had some great Monastrells before, but Syrahs are often too pungent for my taste. Unfortunately, the Nabuko was on the too-strong side for me, being very pungent, spicy, and smoky. If that’s your style, go for it! You can learn more about the winemakers on the importer’s website.
