2023 Mac Forbes EB88 Monastrell
Grape: Monastrell (also known as Mataro and Mourvedre)
Region: Riverlands, VIC
Cuvee: EB88 (Experimental Batch 88)
Plush and juicy plum, cranberry, violets and cherries, interlaced with gentle spices. This is a fresh, fruit forward wine.
Legitimately brilliant Yarra Valley winemaker Mac Forbes producing Monastrell from Riverlands fruit. Riverlands should be questionable for quality, but somehow he delivers this precise, intricate example of this grape.
You'll love this if: You're looking for something juicy and fun, while being actually good.
Maybe skip this if: You're looking for lots of structure, or power.
When to open it: Drink now. It's a great wine, but not built to age.
