The first Garnaca I've ever had, and I was very pleased! This is from the Calatayud region of Zaragosa province. Garnacha likely originated in Aragon, and spread to regions controlled by the Crown of Aragon, such as Sardinia, the Balearics, and Roussillon (now in southern France). The vine was long ago known as Tinto Aragones ("red of Aragon").
"The wine exudes intense aromas of sweet cherries and dark plums with an exotic spicy finish reminiscent of white pepper."

Smooth. Balanced. Silky yet subtlety deep.

Nothing subtle about this wine at all. it's a big-assed, unrestrained, lush fruit bomb. But, it still has a little bit of backbone and seemed more balanced a few days after it was opened. It was a solid pizza and turkey sammich wine. Solid value at $8.

Dark ruby red colour with an earthy nose of dark cherries and plums. The palate is surrounded with notes of candied red fruit, hints of cinnamon and white pepper.
