Atteca Calatayud Old Vines Garnacha

Light ruby hue with medium-high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, blueberry, cherry, pepper, raspberry, sage, toast, and vanilla. Medium body; ripe, medium-plus tannins; and medium-plus acidity. Pronounced on the nose, while velvety and plush on the palate, with medium-plus length on the finish. Dangerously drinkable at 15.5% ABV.

Me esperaba más de este vino. No creo que repita

Black plum and pencil leads. Nothing firey here. There is a strength here nonetheless from the wood that made this easy to pair with a heavily paprikaed beef dish.

Smooth velvet like drink. Very easy to drink

Intense, well balanced Granacha, at Urban Grape In the South End, Boston

Massive delivery. 100% garnacha, 15.5% alcohol, sweet purple. Would be interested in following up with the vieille

Old vine Garnacha.

15.5% alcohol that is well integrated.

The very definition of an easy drinking wine. The slight sweet fruity characteristics you expect from pure Grenache with excellent body, solid tannins, and pleasant dry finish. I’m not normally a fan of pure Grenache, preferring Rhône blends, but the old vines and robust oaking combined with a Mountainous terroir provide a lot of interest.
