According to Wine Grapes, Jancis R., it is, and another synonym is Monastrell.

Right!?! La Follette is like the Parra of the US. Together = fireworks!👏🏻

Read a blog article from a wine guy I periodically read. He now inserts his view on wine bottles used, which I appreciate as heavy bottles are ridiculous. Ex: Stupidly Heavy Bottle (910g; 32.0oz), Extremely Heavy Bottle (842g; 29.6oz) and bravo to Joseph Drouhin —> Responsible Bottle (568g; 20.0oz)

Wow, what a lovely wine. You don’t necessarily see a lot of Mourvedrè (Mataro) in the US. A treat from regen ag/biodynamic producer Troon… Rogue Valley AVA, southern OR. A bit lighter than what we enjoy in France, with smooth silky tannins, yet the same rustic richness #winesky #troonvineyards

This is a little known treat … an option instead of other sweet sips👏🏻

Fall is on, or is it autumn? Either way, a recent warm evening included this rosé and main dish shrimp salad combo #winesky

In the NE, barely in Galicia, DO Ribeira Sacra. Takes dedication there… mountains and steep river valleys. Alvaredos-Hobbs and O Estranxeiro could be easier to find.

Crazy that protein is an essential nutrient for bees.

What a concept. Could happen somewhere without aliens #booksky

Paul Williamson ✪ @acid.uk · Sep 29

Just grabbed Port of Earth by Zack Kaplan and Andrea Mutti. A sci-fi graphic novel where aliens don’t invade, they negotiate, setting up a “port of entry” on Earth that changes everything. Can’t wait to dive in! #booksky #graphicnovels #scifi #books #comics #sciencefiction #reading

Point taken. Yet take a region like Cigales DO in Spain. Rosé has been made there since the Middle Ages. It’s no trend.
