Wine Review: This garnet colored Garnacha opens with a ripe strawberry jam, pomegranate, eucalyptus and light oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, smooth and juicy with slightly tart black cherries flavors. I also detected some notes of plum as well. I enjoyed its light tannins and balanced acidity. The finish was extended with a pleasurable amount of dryness. I would recommend pairing this value priced Garnacha with beef Bolognese. - Joe

Winemaker Notes: From Garnacha vines typically 50 years and older, harvested by hand and lightly extracted to retain aroma without excess astringency. Deep ruby red color and bright strawberry on the nose and in the long, juicy finish. Aged three months in used oak barrels.
