This new wine was enjoyable, although definitely on the powerful side. Totally understandable given the blend of Monastrell, Cab, and Syrah. A decent amount of spice and tannins, it’s definitely not for the faint at heart.
From the back of the bottle, a few notes:
60% Monastrell, 20% Syrah, and 20% Tempranillo - this wine is aged for three months in new oak barrels.

price!
woo hoo!
First time I hear about Monastrell
