Roquero 1998 Tinto Monastrell (Jumilla)
- Best Buy
- $9
Fruit-filled; ripe berries and cherries burst forth in what could be Spain’s answer to Beaujolais. There’s even a rich earthy streak to keep things interesting sip after sip. Simply delicious.

Roquero 1994 Reserva Monastrell (Jumilla)
- $12
Cherries and roasted peanut aromas suggest some Garnacha in the blend. The oak influence is limited to a bitter chocolate element on the finish, leaving the spicy cherry fruit to stand on its own merits. Drink now.

Roquero 1995 Reserva Monastrell (Jumilla)
- $12
This wine’s smooth, even mouthfeel can’t compensate for an odd, cheesy note on the nose and the fact that the dark cherry and bitter chocolate flavors are deeply under wood. Shows some back-end bite, seeming past its best, as if it would have shown better earlier. —M.M.
