  October 13, 2020 - Young wine with violet tones and a dark core. Ripe black fruit on the nose and less heavy on the palate with acidity and a decent finish. Always nice and representative. They've better samples anyway.
  
  Vino joven de tonos violáceos y corazón obscuro.
  Fruta negra madura en nariz y menos pesado al paladar con acidez y un decente final. Siempre agradable y representativo. Tienen mejor ejemplos de todas formas.

  December 14, 2019 - Not remotely a great wine, but, if you're buying wine on a tight budget, this is one you need to know about. It's one of the very few red wines in the $13 and under range that can reliably, vintage after vintage, pass for a wine at twice that price. (I've been following it for several decades.) Fresh Monastrell smells and flavors of cherries, iodine, oranges, wild herbs, even wild animals--yes, you have to like the very distinctive personality of Monastrell (Mourvedre) or this is not for you, but if you enjoy a Monastrell that is unmistakeably Monastrell, you can't do better at the price. Drink this wine young and buy only from a source you trust to have stored it perfectly--there's nothing to be gained by aging it and it will deteriorate quickly with poor storage. My guess is that, stored well, it will keep for a year or even longer.
