What a pleasure to drink! Composed of 100% Garnacha from the Cariñena D.O. in Aragon (about a 3 hour drive southeast of Rioja), the Castillo de Monserran is chock full of bright red cherry and red plum fruits, with good energy and very good persistence, especially given the humble price tag. The winery is run by Javier Domecq, a former bullfighter who now finds himself in another very competitive, but somewhat safer profession! If the quality of this wine for the price stays consistent, we think that he will do just fine. This comes highly recommended from a few of our staff members and at 12.5% abv is a perfect quaffing red for any occasion.
