Monastir 2006 s. XII Cluny Red (Navarra)
- $24
Smoky, meaty and attractive from the start, with vanilla, tobacco, plum, berry and herbal notes on the nose. Rich, layered and fairly tannic in the mouth, with flavors of tobacco, coconut, sweet berry and cassis. Long, stylish and nice on the finish; a well-oaked blend of 50% Tempranillo, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.

Monastir 2006 s. XII Cister Red (Navarra)
- $22
Begins murky, with baked red fruit and tomato aromas. The palate is tight and shows structure along with roasted, spicy, dry berry flavors that sweeten up towards the finish. Interesting despite being a bit baked out and rustic. 60% Merlot with 30% Tempranillo and 10% Cabernet.

Monastir 2008 Old Vine Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Fresh and fruity on the nose, and inviting for what it is: a basic Garnacha with color, spirit and lots of blackberry and plum flavors. The palate is tight and rubbery, but overall this is a fine value despite its short, simple finish.

Monastir 2008 Old Vine Tempranillo (Cariñena)
- $12
Racy cherry and red plum aromas are a bit fiery and jumpy, while the palate is forward and juicy, with sweet berry fruit flavors that carry a bit of vanilla from three months of oak aging. Fades fast on the finish, leaving a touch of caramel flavor.
