This Spanish red is just 13 bucks! And it's great! Monastrell, also know as Mourvèdre, is a great grape for Cab Sauv drinkers as it can have a lot of tannins, acidity and flavour! This wine is a 2020 Finca La Solana Las Hermanas Monastrell.
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. Now that I have completed my WSET 3, I now use this as a place to review and talk about different wines that I am currently drinking as well as wineries that I visit in my new role as a private Wine Tour Guide.
