A lot of VA. Beaujolais-like. Carbonique? Better the next day. Roasted meat. Cherries!

Purple wine & I don’t get along, & so thought twice about going in on a any bottle so garishly labeled as purple—but this Montsant Garnacha blend, while seriously juicy, feels relatively svelte & restrained. Baby S. Rhône comparisons aside, for under 12$ on sale it’s a slam dunk for those who like their fruit up front. Garrique & some (but not much) tannic structure round it out. Eric Solomon importer & cuvée- king of the QPR.

I was skeptical of this blend. But such a bright and beautiful wine. Stone fruit, cherry, great acidity. Great picnic wine!

50% Grenache, 30% Carignane, 20% Syrah. Fermented seperately in stainless, Carignane and Syrah matured in Barrique before blending. Notes of partial carbonic, guessing Carignane.
Gave and hour decant, better 1.5+. Tannin mellowed, fruit was nice, some over-ripe notes. Some darker plonk notes later on, but never overpowering. Overall, great under $15 selection.

Always one of my favorite go to Spanish reds from the Montsant region which is my of my personal favorite DO’s. I tried this for the first time almost 15 years ago and always buy it when I can find it. It is still an exceptional wine every year and incredible value. Very similar to a higher end Cotes Du Rhone. Buy it by the case…🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

Very approachable blend! Ripe black fruit, licorice, fig jam on the nose. Soft and velvety tannins with some dustiness and herbs on the palate. Holds up nicely to roasted chicken
