2008 My Favourite Spanish Red Tempranillo Monastrell

Spain 13.5% Screwcap $11 Source: Sample

Imported by Ce Soir. Good value, clean and a bit exotic (coming from Spain and all).

Rasberries, sage/oregano, a little blackberry and straw. Fresh and juicy with a subtle earthiness. Vanilla and spice too. Pleasant broad, grainy tannins and decent length. One might ask for more depth but I suspect that would be missing the point.

Nothing to get too excited about here but it’s good weeknight quaffer at the right price. Sometimes that’s all you’re after.
