A very good value, ripe, soft, concentrated red -- in the smoother, lower-acid style.Vivid dark black ruby. Ripe, low-toned, friendly aromas of woodsy blackberry juice and crushed rocks. Soft, concentrated, and juicy in the mouth. loads of very pure blackberry fruit and a finish that morphs into cocoa-y, clingy, smoky, gravelly flavors. Loads of very soft tannin. Very drinkable right now, it will last another year or so at this level. A sure crowd-pleaser. B+/A-. Imported by Patrick Mata's Olé Imports. Was $12 at World Market Place (Richmond/West Loop).

I'll try to find this. I stopped buying Monestrell because the last 2-3 I bought were undrinkable.
The Monastrell-based wines from Finca Luzon are widely available and consistently good, in a big, very ripe style.
