Spanish super tasty Mediterranean red [read: light yet flavorful] is 75% Bobal.  The rest is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha & Tempranillo. Bodegas Mustiguillo is highly regarded for taking the Bobal grape and creating velvety reds from high elevation vineyards.  El Terrerazo, Spain

 

"A very tasty and drinkable Mediterranean red"

WINE ADVOCATE | 90 points |

“The red 2014 Mestizaje is the entry-level blend of Bobal with some 10% Syrah, 6% Garnacha, 5% Merlot and a 2% pinch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo; the grapes comes from head-pruned, dry-farmed vines planted mostly in the early 1990s. Each variety is fermented separately and then aged for one year in oak vats and barrels. The wine has seen a change since 2012... In 2013 it's 100% grapes from the Terrerazo estate—and therefore a Vino de Pago—but more important, the percentage of Bobal has increased and they look for a fresher profile, which means the wine has gained in drinkability. There are no more notes of chocolate that were very prominent in 2006, 2007 or 2009; they have taken the Tempranillo out of the blend, a grape that has a tendency to get very ripe in the zone; and the wine is better balanced and focused. The palate shows also some chalkiness (all the grapes now come from vineyards in Finca Terrerazo, where there is a high content in limestone), and a Mediterranean character, but without heat.”
