Natalie's Score: 90/100

Monasterio de las Viñas Reserva 2018 is always a crowd pleaser and easy on the pocketbook as well at $18. Produced from Garnacha, Tempranillo, Cariñena and Cabernet Sauvignon wine grapes, this wine is dry, fruity and medium-bodied with spicy and savoury goodness. Look for layers of cherry, strawberry, dark plum, dark spices, anise, savoury herbs concentrated on the palate. Tannins are chalky textured. Enjoy with grilled meats.

Garnacha Tempranillo Cariñena food pairings: grilled lamb chops, roast of pork in wine jus, veal chops.

Monasterio de las Viñas Reserva 2018 is great value at $18. Produced from Garnacha, Tempranillo, Cariñena and Cabernet Sauvignon wine grapes, this dry, medium-plus-bodied savoury red is fragrant with dried strawberry, vibrant cherry and spicy flavours textured on the palate. Very nice now to 2025. - Community Wine Reviews
