Cinsault 'MONK'

"Another single-vineyard Cinsault, the 2018 Monk is also named after a jazz musician, Thelonius Monk, who Pedro Parra describes as complex and innovative. All of these wines had a native fermentation with some 30% full clusters, and in this case, the élevage was in 1,500-liter oak vats for just under one year. To me, this is the most complete of the three single-vineyard bottlings, and in a way, I see some similitude with the Imaginador bottling. It's also the most elegant and mineral as well as serious, balanced, terribly precise and long."
