Montgó 2008 Flor del Montgó Tempranillo (La Mancha)
- Best Buy
- $12
A clean, fresh, appealing sort of Tempranillo with cola, earth, black cherry and berry aromas followed by a bright, forward, spicy cherry palate. Honest, snappy, healthy and juicy; nice and solid for La Mancha.

Montgó 2004 Monastrell-Shiraz Red (Yecla)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Tea, floral and black cherry aromas give this aging wine some character. The palate has held onto its darkness, thus plum, blackberry and coffee flavors are in charge. The palate is flat more than lively, but overall it’s a good, toasty wine with some earthy complexity. A Europvin, Christopher Cannan selection, imported by multiple importers, including Michael…

Montgó 2007 Monastrell-Shiraz Red (Yecla)
- $15
Full-forced berry and cherry aromas are clean and fruity despite accents of leather and heat. The palate offers a good feel, healthy kick and tasty black fruit flavors touched up by hints of chocolate and pepper. Narrow on the finish, with espresso and spice. A solid, good wine from older vines.

Montgó 2006 Flor del Montgó Old Vines Garnacha (Calatayud)
- Online Exclusive
A touch scratchy and rough on the nose, with pepper and leathery fruit aromas. The palate keeps that edge while offering peppery berry flavors and oak. More tannic and woody than one might hope for, with lactic notes on the finish. Shows flashes but comes up average. A Europvin, Christopher Cannan selection, imported by multiple importers, including Michael Skurnik…

Montgó 2009 Picos del Montgó Old Vines Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- $9
Young, scratchy and sweet on the nose, but overall it’s a good taste of easygoing Garnacha. Flavors are sweet and plummy, with blackberry and a touch of creamy vanilla. Finishes candied and thick, with a soft, sweet, short finish.

Montgó 2009 Flor del Montgó Verdejo (La Mancha)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Pineapple aromas lead to a soft, smooth, but lifeless palate of slightly bitter melon and banana flavors. Pithy on the finish and short on pulse. Drink immediately or let it go by altogether.

Montgó 2009 Picos del Montgó Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Hard, pickled aromas settle on leathery and burnt after airing. The palate is jammy and sticky, with sweet, heavy, roasted, burnt-tasting black fruit flavors. Resiny as well. Tempranillo with 10% Syrah.

Montgó 2008 Flor del Montgó Monastrell (Yecla)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
A burnt, stemmy nose is an indicator of what’s to some. And while the palate has an o.k. feel to it, the flavors here are bitter, herbal and burnt. A wine that lacks freshness of fruit.
