Cabriola Grenache Blend 2018

8.9

Blend of Garnacha (55%), Syrah (39%) and Mazuelo (6%). Dark ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of wet soil, coffee, violets and ripe red fruit. Flavors of strawberry, raspberry and red cherry fruit, dark chocolate, minerals and baking spices. Bit of vanilla on the long and pleasant finish. Soft/tight tannins and vibrant (a bit overbearing) acidity that causes the mouth to salivate. Medium-plus body and structure. Needs aeration. — 2 months ago

THIS IS NOT TEMPRANILLO. This is #mazuela #mazuelo from a #singlevineyard. One of the best #carignane ever. Tart. Red fruit. #riojabaja #riojaoriental #rioja — 2 years ago

Selección Garnacha Blend 2018

Ray Vanderhoff

9.0

Blend of Garnacha and Mazuela (Carignan). Dark ruby color. Fresh dark berries and plums on the nose. Pallet is more red fruit based (raspberry, red plum and red currents). Note of beef jerky and iodine on the long and consistent finish. Quite juicy and bright but the rustic minerality balances this wine nicely. — 3 years ago
