Luzon Verde Organic ($). Where do we start? It's another Jorge Ordonez selection, and remember, that name means "worth buying". 100% Monastrell. 89 rating from Wine Advocate. Luzon Verde is the organic version of Finca Luzon, which got a 90 from Wine Advocate. That's the closest an organic wine has gotten to its "regular" version ever.
Dark aroma, full flavor, and medium finish. For a time, this was my house-pour. It's worth buying based on the rating alone. The fact that it's organic makes it even better.
The tannins suggest keeping a bottle, if you have the space, for a horizontal tasting in a year or two (but not longer).
The wine itself brings out blueberry, lavender, and anise. It pairs well with many foods.
It's organic. It's quite drinkable. It's very similar to it's non-organic brethren. Buy it. No, really.
Hippies everywhere will love you.

Very interesting...thank you. Have you tried the 2005 Nessa Albarino? Any thoughts on that one? keep up the great work...
I have not tried Nessa Alberino. To be quite honest, I tend to shy away from most any white wine. I have, however found a few Albarinos to my liking, so I'll definitely keep an eye out for the Nessa.
