フアン・ヒル・フミーリャ・モナストレル

Opened this with dinner last night and the dark purple fruit flavors were spot on. For under $15, that rich, full-bodied mouthfeel is a steal.

The vanilla note really comes through on the nose, and the dark purple fruit is exactly as described—it's a rich, plump pour that's hard to put down. I opened it with a casual pasta night and it made the whole meal feel fancier.

This Monastrell has a lovely plump, full-bodied feel that coats the mouth nicely, with ripe dark fruit and vanilla taking center stage. It's incredibly smooth for the price point and a solid choice for an easy weeknight red.
