Tarima Monastrell
This is by far the best cheap ass wine there is. I think I paid only a few bucks for this excellent wine. Perfect for a BBQ or a grilled marinated steak. Tonight this great bottle went down with a 4lbs marinated London Broil, Papas Bravas, sweet potatoes, carrots, radishes. The wine was big thick juicy, not to sweet and with some funk in the back. Love it.

Jan 22nd, 2017Serious wine for very little money. If you're looking for supple/dark berries with soft tannins and refreshing acidity, grab this one!

May 17th, 2015Good fruit and earth notes. Higher acid cuts through food nicely. Meet quality in the nose. High alcohol. Randomly no vintage to be found on the label. Found at Artichoke Cafe.
