Michelle of My Wine Education put Passionate Spain on the Agenda for Wine Blogging Wednesday #35.
Like a good jazzman, I decided to riff on her theme and offer Castillo de Monseran ‘Garnacha’ (2005) as my pick. 
This wine is 100% Garnacha (Grenache if you prefer). It comes from Cariñena, south of Zaragoza, smack in the heart of Aragon. There is also a town of the same name.
Cariñena is not far from Carino (love, darling) which brings us back to Passionate Spain….
Because of the high mountain location, the vineyards benefit from a cooler climate that graces this wine with wonderful fruit.
Grapes go through a short maceration and then the fermentation phase which gives this Castillo de Monseran soft and lush tones.
At around $9.00, this red wine is a steal.
