Single Vineyard Rioja Garnacha 2017

8.9

Vintage 2017 | I am fond of frivolous young Rioja, but seldom recognize them blind. To be honest, that frivolity and some raspberry in smell made me think: a Cru de Beaujolais. But this Rioja has its own qualities. Some cacao in taste, tannins still, good balance. Have to drink more of it to recognize. — 5 days ago

A young, fresh and dynamic cherry-punchy Mentrida which might remind some of gentler, easy-to-drink Gamays. — 5 days ago

Garnacha from the mountains outside Madrid. Grows on pink granite soils. A very cherry, light and mineral wine. Rather similar to some Cotes-du-Rhône. 13.5% abv. — 10 days ago

Dang! Very good for a cheap trader joe's wine. Wish I'd have picked up a few more.

Dark funk on the nose, Dry and full bodied. Vanilla and caramel.

Drank while in quarantine, playing animal crossing and listening to soothing music. — a day ago

Cherry cola meets dusty tea nose. Like the new cherry cola tea Icee flavor you would have as a kid on a weekend shopping spree. Smooth and subdued, a refined yet fun and sexy fruit-forward leathered cola romp on a saddle. The upper echelon of the region. Giddy-up! Enjoyed with white saucy scallops and mushrooms over par-cooked onions and penne. — 24 days ago

Another world famous Wine Nerd Herd Virtual Tasting this time on the docket was Spanish wines. This 100% Grarnacha showed in full force...caramel and violets on the nose-delicate in so many ways, not overly oaked, such fine balance and precision that speaks of a hybrid of old and new world. Drinks well now, yet has many many years ahead of it. @thewinenerdherd — 17 days ago
