The Second Glass

Here you go, an oldie but a goodie. The 2005 Castano Monastrell. Monastrell being Spanish for Mourvèdre. I was first introduced to Castano with the 2003 vintage. It was incredible and only 6 BUCKS! Since then its popularity has increased and now it’s $9.

Even with the price increase it is so worth it. In fact you should be ashamed of yourself for only paying 9 dollars. We wish there was some sort of digital, Paypal tip jar for the farmers in Yecla, Spain that have enabled us to get rich, juicy, blackberry, chocolaty, meatiness in a medium bodied bottle of red for $9!
