Castillo de Monseran 2002 Grenache

(approx. $5 - $7 US per bottle)

This wine was found at a tasting about a year ago, and is an outstanding value! I always have a bottle or three on hand at home, just for when I'm in the mood, as it is such an easy drinking wine. It can be had by itself, or with a red meat dinner, and always rolls off the tongue with light red fruit flavors.
The price of this wine makes it easy to keep several bottles on hand should company show up, and they'll think you paid well more than you did for this delicious wine.

Serving temperature: 60-65 degrees
This wine comes out of the Cariena Appellation in Aragon. A 100 % Grenache makes this an easy drinking fruit driven wine. It is bottled within a year of production and is designed to be drunk now and not cellared.

Here's a review:
Spain is fast becoming a powerhouse in the wine industry for value and quality. Made from the Garnacha grape, this wine explodes with black currant fruit and a lively fresh finish. Try with tomato based appetizers or light grilled meats.

I hope you enjoy this delicious wine as much as I do.
