Bodegas Castaño
Monastrell Dulce 2001 Spain $26.95
This
is a stunning dessert wine made from black Monastrell
(Mourvédre) grapes grown in the region
of Yecla, not far from Valencia. Super-concentrated
blackberry and dried raisin flavours with caramel,
toffee, and chocolate undertones. Great for old-fashioned
custard desserts; even better with stinky-as-you-dare
cheeses.
