100% Garnacha.This wine bares more than a passing resemblance to a top-notch Cotes du Rhone yet with a seeming juxtaposition of darker fruit and yet brighter acidity. Ridiculously exotic and expressive aromas practically jump from the glass – boysenberry, blackberries, cherries, anise and flowers – a veritable potpourri of all things good! Then more of that dark, luscious fruit follows, all balanced by bright acidity and fine tannins that cut like a laser through the wine. Simply, this is a spectacular wine, and an amazingly versatile one at that. Medium plus in body, with fine tannins and good acidity, this is an easy match for easy foods – burgers, roast chicken, burritos – yet you can “dress it up” and pair wonderfully with rustic fare like grilled lamb or braised short ribs…. Hmm…
"Ripe cherry, blackberry and licorice aromas are energized by a peppery flourish and a hint of pungent flowers. Sweet black and blue fruit and vanilla flavors are given lift by a spine of juicy acidity, and a hint of allspice appears on the back half. The cherry note drives the persistent finish, which features gently chewy tannins and a hint of smokiness." Vinous
