2010 Tarima - Monastrell  
2010 Tarima - Monastrell $12.99 $9.95

Red | Monastrell | Spain | Jumilla | 750ml

100% Monastrell sourced from 25-35 year old vines A surprisingly ample mouthful for such a modest tab, it shows notes of cocoa, anise, violet and mineral along with blackcurrant and plum flavors. It's one of those wines that has enough going on for those that are paying attention but also the kind of friendly demeanor to engage those that are just quaffing. A lot of value wines are tailored to be good deals in the glass, but this one actually delivers. This is truly a great wine. Drink over the next 3 years.
2010 Tarima Hill - Monastrell  
2010 Tarima Hill - Monastrell $19.99 $15.95

Red | Monastrell | Spain | 750ml

The opaque purple-colored 2010 Tarima Hill exhibits notes of chocolate fudge, pen ink, graphite, blueberries and blackberries. This full-bodied, 100% Monastrell should drink well for a decade or more. These amazing efforts taste more like they should cost $30 to $50 as opposed to the mid-teens. Bodega Volver, a joint project between Rafael Canizares and Jorge Ordonez, produces wines from three appellations, La Mancha, Alicante and Jumilla. Readers will need to take note of the nearly identical cuvees, some of which are made from organic grapes and others from non-organic grapes. That information is clearly marked on the labels. Slightly more expensive are the 2010 and 2009 Tarima Hill. These cuvees come from the winery's oldest vines (20 acres of ungrafted vines that were planted in 1935) planted on the highest elevations.
