Winery Review

Gnarled vines, grown without irrigation, are a mainstay of Spain’s winemaking tradition and produce small clusters of perfectly ripe Garnacha grapes. Aromas of blackberries, plums, and cherries fill the glass and develop into luscious flavors of black stone fruit. Long, supple tannins complete this extraordinary wine.

My Review

The nose on this Garnacha was incredibly warm and sweet smelling which is something that I find really typical of all red wines and it is an aspect that I tend to enjoy. I got a strong hint of black cherries, and berries immediately on the first smell. On the finish I was able to detect small hints of black currant and a small licorice hint. The wine was dry, but it was a refreshing break from the lighter wines. There was a lovely spice that lingered on the tip of the tongue from this wine. I am not a huge red wine fan, however I noticed it growing on me in the last few weeks and really enjoyed this wine. 

I did not eat food with this wine.
