The brilliantly packaged 2007 Wrongo Dongo (named in honor of Washington DC legend Jim Arseneault) is 100% Monastrell. Medium ruby-colored, it presents a nose of mineral and earth notes that jump from the glass. Ripe and flavorful, this crowd-pleasing wine will continue to drink well for another two years.

Silly name but pretty good wine. A tidal wave of cherry/berry aromas is authentic, natural, youthful and floral. The palate is just as bright and bouncy, with red fruit running away with things. A touch of mineral and chocolate at the end gives it some darkness to match the vibrancy.——M.S.(12/15/2008)—— 85
