The dark ruby '12 Bodegas Castaño Monastrell Blend Viñas Viejas 'Solanera' emitted energetic aromas of smoky minerals, incense and dark fruits and violets. Dense, mouth-filling flavors of blueberry pie and brown spice were next. Supple tannins gained increasing strength with air and ended with a juicy, spicy sweet persistent finish.

Another solid value ($14) from Eric Solomon. A Mourvèdre driven blend with nice fruit and spice. Could certainly drink well just following his picks...

Florida temps and that high alc Cabernet in the blend might have made this a little hot around the edges, but overall the Yecla Monastrell shines through nicely
