Wine Reviews You can Use

  Purpley hue with aromas of fresh yeasty bread dough rising from the glass. Savory spice, with dark dried, crushed berries, and a sweet subtle nougat cream at the rim under all the spice and ash. Palate--*Sweet first impression with mouth watering acidity, cracked black pepper corns, finishes with a momentary lingering ending of slight hint of baking spices. Monastrell isn't a well known grape by this name but it is the signature grape of the Jumilla region of SE Spain but much better known in France with the prize blend of the Rhone region known to wine devotee's as GSM.  This stands for Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre (pronounced MORE-ved) which is the colloquial name for Monastrell. Primarily a blending grape in France it is the signature grape of the Jumilla region of Spain.  At the ubiquitous price point of $10, given its Wine Spectator score of 90, it a great value creation so raise a glass! *"Sweet" in this situation is not actually sweet meaning residual sugar
