Castillo de Monséran 2009 Silver Label Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Just makes it to that next level of quality via bright, jumpy, fresh aromas and flavors of raspberry and cherry. It’s a simple varietal Grenache that’s bright and easy to like if you’re into zesty raspberry and berry flavors uplifted by spunky acidity. Best with a little chill on the temperature.

Castillo de Monséran 2007 Old Vine Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
More traditional and Old World in style, with some light oak supporting aromas of rubber, smoked meats, leather and berry fruit. There’s good life to the bouncy palate along with flavors of zesty plum and cherry. Snappy and crisp on the finish.

Castillo de Monséran 2002 Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- $7
Ruby in color and sweet on the nose. Yes, it’s a candied Grenache from central Spain, and while it doesn’t overwhelm, it’s steady as she goes. Plenty of raspberry and cherry on the palate is backed by a clear, focused finish. A tasty, upright, semisweet red.

Castillo de Monséran 2008 Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Standard black-cherry aromas carry a candied, vanilla-like twinge, while the feel is juicy and snappy. Flavors of sweet berries and cherry are just fine, and they come with a nod of spice and bitterness. Punchy and fresh overall, with good ripeness and balance.

Castillo de Monséran 2005 Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- $6
This full-bodied, cherry-dominated Garnacha is pretty good considering the price. The nose is a bit raisiny and ripe, while the palate is sweet but balanced. A standard red wine with clarity and no surprises.

Castillo de Monséran 2006 Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Online Exclusive
- $8
This is mucky and sweet. Its best foot is not put forward via the compost-like nose, and from then on there’s little more than prune, leather and a sticky mouthfeel.
