Castaño Hécula Organic Monastrell 2022

This playful, lighter-styled Monastrell has a sense of levity. Savory aromas of garrigue and boysenberry are heightened by aromas of rhubarb and black raspberry. A fruit-forward palate largely abandons savoriness suggested on the nose and embraces youthful tannins followed by a smirk of acidity. Best Buy. Score – 90.
