Black and blue fruit, coffee, chocolate aromas roll into pleasant tartness on the palate and impressive longevity in the wine fridge (1 week+) without much oxidation. #monastrell — 3 years ago

The nose was a fruit bomb when we first opened it. It is a little hot with alcohol. The palate is lovely. It is fantastic with prime rib. — 4 years ago

Excellent 100% #monastrell value from #jumilla DOP. Spiced dark berry compote nose, good concentration on the palate, surge of spicy fruit balanced by solid acidity and a grippy finish. Nifty QPR for ~$8.50 with volume discounts at Total Wine. — 3 years ago

Delicious #yecla red blend of 50/30/20% #monastrell #cabernetsauvignon and #tintorera - nicely balanced, really opens up after a day or two in the wine fridge. Red/black fruit nose with compote and some pepper. That richness carries through in the mouth, pepper notes are robust, balanced acidity; soft tannins on the finish. Excellent QPR for $13 at Total Wine. — 4 years ago

My last current stock and another fascinating bottle from #caduceus. This high desert (4300’) grown #monastrell pours almost medium-light with a dark ruby core. Viognier-like floral notes, some dusty dried cherry. Palate has a pleasing luscious texture, firm supportive acidity and transparent tannins. — 2 years ago

I love it. #carignan #carignane #zinfandel #petitesyrah #syrah #alicantebouschet #monastrell #garnachatintorera #mourvedre #barbera #sonoma #sonomacounty it has this complexity and balance due to the blend that intrigues me and keeps me coming back for more. #ravenswood also incredibly fresh for 2014 vintage. Can age. — 3 years ago

Solid 9.0. #barossa valley #barossavalley blend of #gsm #grenache, #shiraz and #mataro or #garnacha #syrah and #monastrell #mourvedre Deep deep color typically ripe (low latitude=intense sunlight) medium (+) aromas of red and black fruit, hints of ink, chocolate and toast. On the palate...as one would expect, ripe and juicy. Maintains a lovely balance between the ripeness and juicy sweetness of the fruit, the medium acidity and the high alcohol (hardly noticeable) and ripe tannins. Good stuff. Reminds me of my wines from Campo de Borja. #australia #southaustralia — 4 years ago
