12 Meses Silver Label Jumilla Monastrell 2022

Black currants, sweet oaky spices, cigar, coconut cream. Ripe, dark fruits, oaky spice (nutmeg, cinnamon), mild acidity, firm but smooth tannins. Some lingering grape candy.

A nice, affordable steak wine.

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.

had this years ago and i feel like they've made some great strides: Monastrell from Yecla can be flabby fruit bombs, but this is a legit wine, great old vine material, had some of the secondary aromas & flavors from southern France, some of that feral quality, some iodine, white pepper along with copious amounts of black & red fruit. polished & poised, smooth thru nice finish — 3 months ago

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. — 5 months ago
