grassy nose with hints of green olive leads into a one dimensional flavor profile. herbal components are barely there. light color and short finish makes this 2016 Verdeho a bit disappointing but for $4.99 at Grocery Outlet Hayward i’m looking to pair with paprika tilapia or chicken piccata. — 7 years ago

2014 vintage $4.99 at Grocery Outlet Hayward. I’m a sucker for that whole Roman thing. Beats giraffes or whales on the label! Will be enjoying with spicy sausage, white beans, and zucchini. cork may be a little too moist. Beautiful plummy to raspberry color showing its age a bit. Intriguing black pepper on the nose. Stewed red fruits and hints of char lead into smoky barrel influence on the palate. Tart berry in the background. Medium body, lovely sour berry finish. The smokiness will play well with grilled meats. Grenache is one of the most widely planted grapevines on the world Garnacha en Espana! — 7 years ago

got the 2012 at grocery outlet north hayward. careful with that foil! outstanding nose: blueberries, licorice, and cedar. lighter bodied, tangy berry flavors with welcoming acidity on the finish. for $4.99 this wine offers excellent value. a terrific vintage. showing well! — 7 years ago
