Craig Haynes rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Crafted only with hand-harvested Monastrell grapes, the Sericis hails from the east coast of Spain from the wine area called Alicante. Alicante has been producing wine for hundreds of years, but it flies under the radar when compared other areas in the country. So what is it like?

in my glass, it is a full-bodied, lush, juicy, food friendly experience. Its confident, dialed down expressions of dark berries and plums are everywhere. They’re approachable, pleasing, and team up nicely with some mild-mannered flavours like dried spices and toasted oak.

Some friends introduced me to this red as their house wine last week, and I’m glad they did. Enjoy this one with baked comfort foods that have some heft.

Final thought. The 2017 Sericis is certified by V-Label as a vegan product.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
