At the Spanish tasting I found this little $9 gem. Bright red cherry color. Big aromas of ripe red fruit. The palate yielded blueberry and raspberry flavors with s touch of spice, very smooth. The wine was well structured and balanced. Easy drinking and enjoyable. Sample.

If I was going off of price I would say 8.6 to 8.7. Solid little monastrell. If you had millions of dollars, and drank this juice, it wouldn't be a disappointment until you found out the price. Then most would scoff at it. Ha

Light and fruity but has a hint of nuts and is really smooth.

Very full, balanced and beautiful with spicy foods. Wonderful juice for the money! A keeper.

Totally juicy. Tates like deeper red fruits. Regular and I guess "dry" finish

Opened last night, really opened up today. White pepper, dark berry fruit, light wood & soft tannins (the next day). Thx SCOTT for bringing this to town.
