2006 Bodegas Luzon Jumilla

Another of the great values I've found from Spain is from the region of Jumilla, the Monastrell (Mourvedre)-Syrah blend made by Bodegas Luzon. The 2004 Luzon is certainly made in a very forward style, offering plenty of fruit on the nose and the palate straightaway. There's not a lot of complexity here, but for less than $10, this wine delivers plenty of pleasure if you like this style of wine. I'll admit that I'm not always in the mood for such a wine, but when I am, I definitely enjoy a wine like this especially for the price. If you're looking for a fresh young wine that will deliver plenty of fruit upfront for a low price, this is a great choice.
