Ego Bodegas Goru Gold Red Blend – Eureka

A serious wine for just $9.99 (at Costco), we review the Ego Bodegas Goru Gold Red Blend.

80% Monastrell, 15% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from Jumilla, Spain. The wine spends 12 months in first year French and American oak barrels. It has less than 5 g/L of residual sugar and is vegan friendly.

The Ego Bodegas Goru Gold has a SRP of $20 and an average wine-searcher price of $14 but we grabbed it at Costco for just $9.99. It is imported by Tri-Vin Imports Inc.

From the bottle:

A modern style wine with an elegant and powerful profile. The fruity aromas of cherries, blackberries and currants blend perfectly with hints of liquorice, spices and mineral notes. Well integrated tannins and fresh acidity provide this wine a vibrant character. It is ideal to pair with main dishes, grilled or roasted meats, stews, cured cheeses and cold cuts.

We’re big fans of Monastrell (aka Mourvedre) here at Reverse Wine Snob and Ego Bodegas has had several of them at Costco over the years. (The Ego Bodegas Infinito and the Ego Goru 18m.) We heartily enjoyed the 2017 vintage of this wine, so we were quite happy to see the 2018 at Costco while we were on vacation recently.

The 2018 Ego Bodegas Goru Gold Red Blend begins with a pleasing aroma full of ripe berry fruit along with licorice, chocolate and a touch of coffee.

Taking a sip reveals a smooth texture with lots of grippy tannins in this meaty and complex wine. It features similar flavors to the nose with dark berry fruit and lots of licorice plus more chocolate and some vanilla.

Continuing coffee notes lead into the dry, long and grippy finish. This is a serious wine for just $9.99.
