Casa Los Frailes, Monastrell, Valencia, Spain 2023
{biodynamic} 100% Monastrell
BLACK CHERRY & FIG PRESERVES, BALSAMIC SPICE, BOLD & BALANCED!
Our friends at Casa Los Frailes have put the "more" into Mourvèdre. The dry conditions and sandy soils of Valencia yield outstanding Monastrell grapes full of ripe, berryi-sh goodness – a majestic velvet robe of flavor that seductively cradles the taster’s tongue in a bountiful bath of sumptuously silken fruit. This is just a straight-up great red– easy to drink and astoundingly generous. Seriously, take this darkly gleaming gem home today.
Serving Suggestion: Grilled beef or lamb kebabs w/ Moroccan spices. Chicken fajitas w/ adobo sauce. Smoked paprika lentil & rice tacos. Oven roasted balsamic portabello mushrooms.
