#12 A Sardinian Monica

Having previously tasted an Argiolas wine there is no need to repeat that story except to mention that this one is a red. This wine has a powerful slightly musty nose. I detect a hint of menthol with the fruit. The finish is fairly long and has a (forgive me) subtle mouthwash feel.

The monica grape is another Sardinian variety brought to the island by the Spanish. This one will run you $10 and is a fine simple wine.
