Yecla is a rising wine region in southeastern Spain. I have found great values in the past from this region including Campo Arriba, Terrenal Seleccionado and Tranco. All of the wines have had Monastrell blended with varying amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Granacha and syrah.
Solanera is another great buy from Yecla. The Greenville Costco is selling it for $7.99 thru April 15. It is a blend of 70% Monastrell, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Granacha Tintorera with 14.5% alcohol.
This is a medium to full bodied wine with powerful flavors of blueberry and blackberry which should be enjoyed now, rather than cellared for very long. The wine is very enjoyable and I have already gone back for more.
SC Wine Joe rating = 90 points
