Depaula Monastrell 2023

Good! I mean… not my favorite. Fully serviceable, but not memorable or sooo great with food. Heftier. Some flowers and red black fruit. No complaints. — 10 days ago

Bodegas Atalaya

Laya Old Vines Garnacha Blend

Very good. I really liked it. Happy Hour at the Keg. Bit of a spice. Dry. — 17 days ago

Bodegas Antonio Candela Winery

Parcelica Chica Yecla Monastrell Syrah

This was my birthday wine from Total Wine. One of the staff recommended it. It tastes like a small batch, old recipe. Smooth, dry, with just a tad of sweet berry finish. Will definitely purchase again! — 3 months ago

Bodegas Juan Gil

(Silver Label) Jumilla Monastrell 2020

Similar to a cab sauv — strong aroma but not too strong on the palette. Not oaky which is great! Dad likes this one a lot. — 4 months ago

I used to drink a lot of that back in the day

Bodegas El Nido

Clio Jumilla Monastrell-Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Interesting. A little young, dumb, and full of fun. Some residual sugar on the front. But clearly nice fruit.

Chris Ringland is their Wine Consultant. Chris is landing there this week to blend the new vintage.

I like this bottling for its quality & price point. Although the ABV is rising (15.5%), it really doesn’t show it.

The 21 is well made but needs another 7-8 yrs in bottle to reveal its better self.
