Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This old vine Grenache has a bit of an earthy, spicy nose and bright cherry on the palate. It is smooth with fine, fine tannins on the finish. Straightforward, rich and satisfying. Try it with burgers, pizza or pasta. Tasted August 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
From the Cariñena wine region, Monasterio de las Viñas 2016 is a fantastic value, Spanish Old Vines Grenache under $17. Great balance of fruit to acidity, this full-bodied juicy red has ripe wild strawberry, blueberry cake spice and anise flavours on the palate finishing luxuriously long. Enjoy now. Pair with a pork roast. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
