Pale red color. Aromas of violets, potpurri, raspberries. On the palate the wine is dry, medium(-) body, with medium(+) slightly chewy tannins, a fluid, liquid texture of tart strawberries and hints of ground pepper. Very easy drinking, too easy. Very good. #garnacha #spain #winesofspain #winesfromspain

High-toned, lifted aromatics of red cherries and cranberries with noticeable, but pleasant grape tannins. This Demeter certified wine is no longer hiding in the shadow of Priorat!

Surprisingly pale color for a Montsant. That being said it has mature poly phenols and fruit.

There's no reason not to love this. Serious juice at a bargain.

monsant producers who make organic, biodynamic, non-gmo wines should sue Monsanto for defamation. I want to like this wine, but I don't.

Wow! Lighter Montsant, fruit forward, amazing. Great price and refreshingly surprising. For style, pleasure and balance I love!

Insanely delicious carbonic Grenache from the Montsant. Blind tasted this and called cru Beaujolais.
