"Eduardo Soler specializes in Mediterranean grapes, making a series of enjoyably distinctive wines. This pure, “high maintenance” Monastrell from Los Chacayes is savoury, spicy and unwooded, with 100% whole bunches, graceful red cherry and bramble fruit, a top note of rose petal and good underlying grip. 2024-30 "

"The 2020 Monostrell from Los Chocoyes, Uco Volley is purple in the gloss. It has a slightly compact nose of pomegranate, elderflower and herbal hints. The 2020 delivers pure flavors with delicate, refined, polished tannins that lend grip and texture. An unusual wine in that it flirts with being full-bodied but actually has a light, sun-kissed character. "
