Juan Gil 2004 Monastrell (Jumilla)
- $16
Sweet and welcoming; a good deal among pedigreed red wines. The nose on this 100% Monastrell from older vines is mammoth, toasty and dark, while the palate is chunky and virtually melts with blackberry, plum and cherry flavors. A real-deal red with breadth and class. 1,000 cases made.

Juan Gil 2006 Red (Jumilla)
- $16
A touch minty and herbal, but also there’s chocolate and creamy richness to the nose. This is a big wine that’s hugely flavorful. It rumbles from bold berry to smoky dryness, and along the way there are stops at chocolate, coffee and black pepper. Always one of Jumilla’s better wines, assuming you like the extracted, modern style.

Juan Gil 2008 Monastrell (Jumilla)
- $16
A big, dark, heavily oaked wine with caramel, resin and baked berry aromas. The palate has a thick, meaty feel, slightly abrasive tannins, and then sweet, sticky, woody black fruit flavors. Finishes with brown sugar and more wood flavor; strives for a higher level but gets bogged down with barrel influence.

Juan Gil 2007 Monastrell (Jumilla)
- $16
Earthy, meaty and leathery, with an herbal quality to the bouquet. The palate is chunky and soupy, with stewed berry, latent sweetness, and a mild herbal aftertaste. Seems syrupy at points and then fresher and better at other times. Has its good qualities but finishes short.
