  Really enjoyed this wine. Aspects of a good Malbec. A little tart, but opens to be complex and fruity in the best sense.

  This is a really striking rendition of rose. The nose and the palate have as strong, and as pure an expression of strawberry fruit as any rose I have ever tasted. Just a great example of the intensity of red fruit that Monastrall is capable of producing. I hesitate to score it any higher than 88 as there seems to be something filtered out or otherwise missing in the middle. Pretty sure this is a bleed wine from their red wine program as there is a considerable amount of tannin which I suspect comes from broken skins. Really nice expression of something chalky and earthy. Solid coating of red fruit and acidity lingering on the roof of the mouth.
