Casa Castillo’s 2010 Monastrell (100%) was produced entirely from estate-grown fruit and aged for 6 months in seasoned French oak. Underbrush, brier, blue fruit, and a hint of chocolate inform the nose of this firm, concentrated, intensely flavored effort. Nicely proportioned and lengthy, this excellent value will deliver enjoyment over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Eric Solomon Selections, Charlotte, NC; Tel. (704) 358-1565
