Torre Castillo 2009 Alegre Monastrell (Jumilla)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Flat and gummy on the nose, with creamy oak and raisin. The palate is not too vibrant or lively, with chunky, heavy flavors of baked berry. Finishes soupy, with a thickness that doesn’t help.

Torre Castillo 2008 Monastrell (Jumilla)
- Online Exclusive

Only if you enjoy very lean, ultrafresh and tart red wines will this work. It starts with simple punchbowl aromas of red grapes and berry, and then comes a skinny, tart, grating palate that’s all acid and no substance. Calling it “traditional” or a “terroir” wine would only be misleading.
