Revisiting a favorite from the days of discovering wine above the bottom shelf. Still remember the excitement of realizing why people talk about wine in such a unique, flowery manner. Who knew that for just a few dollars more I could have something connected to the land, history & people of its birthplace?

Dark red to cinnamon at the edges. Intense fruit aromas up front. Flavors of raisin, minerals and low acidity. Excellent long finish to a spicy tinge. Excellent paired with Arroz con Pollo and plantains.

Recommended by Dick as a good value Spanish wine ($10.99) made with the monastrell grape. Medium bodied abs very drinkable.
