Bright ruby in color, this wine revealed blackberry, dark cherry and a floral element on the nose. The mouth feel brought juicy acidity, more dark red fruits and some black pepper. The finish was medium with a nice integration of all the elemants.
It appears this red wine was not fermented in oak. I liked all the components but would have liked it that much more with barrel notes added to it.
However, at $8.99US, it's a steal. Drink up.

In comparison to their 2012 Grenache offering, this 2012 Monastrell is head and shoulders above. This one is so bright and juicy, you can't wait to take another sip. The color is medium dark magenta. The nose is vibrant, explosive cheery, red raspberry and blueberry. Mouth coating rich red fruit that tastes sweet but is totally dry. Super little young tannins. Has enough structure to age for a while, or stand up to a steak.

- Ruby color with slow forming legs and aromas of blackberry, fig and cedar. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of cherry and strawberry jam with a medium/full body. Linear texture with a medium finish.

Strongly fruity in a cheap way, but then has some structure in there. Dark, dry, teeth stainer. Decent for the $$ but nothing to get too excited about.

High alcohol. Shallow flavor. Hard acidity. Not good

Quite the QPR. Popped and poured, drank over 2 weeknights. Nice fruit. Nothing that serious, but tasty nonetheless.
