Rayen Monastrell

The Rayen Monastrell lives up to Monastrell’s reputation for yielding deeply colored, boldly flavored wines. Purple with a bluish tinge, this scion from the sun-splashed land of Castilla makes a statement even before one’s nose or mouth can greet the glass. Forceful and tannic, but not hard-edged, this youthful Monastrell from Castilla La Mancha delivers plenty of savory berry and black fruit scents and flavors along with hints of clove, vanilla, and other spices. Unctuous and mouth filling, Rayen’s 2017 Monastrell may not be complex, but it certainly is satisfying. For optimal enjoyment, we suggest allowing this tasty Monastrell at least a few minutes of aeration before serving it cool (58°-60° F). Enjoy!
