QPR king from Costco. ~$10 price of entry grants you plush bramble and cherry fruit offset by juicy acidity and some layers of earth, tobacco, cocoa wrapped with robust tannins. 40% / 25% blend of #garnacha #carinena with 20% / 10% / 5% Merlot, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, respectively, rounding out this smorgasbord Spanish red blend - it all works very well together. — 4 years ago

This 2012 #carinena blend Reserva is wonderful. It does open up after almost an hour but is fruit-forward with a touch of the regional Spanish bell pepper notes. I agree with another reviewer, it does pair well with pizza. — 7 years ago

Delicious GR #carinena 100% #garnacha. Deep bramble fruit aroma; cassis, cocoa, pronounced acidity and grippy but fine tannins that hang on for a really long finish. — 5 years ago

Полный зрелый аромат, печеная вишня, слива, мускатный орех, кардамон, сладкие пряности. Полно, элегантно, насыщенно. Очень хороший аромат, стойкий, интенсивный, развивающейся. Вкус богатый, очень глубокий, с отличной кислотностью.

#carinena #tempranilloblend featuring plush black and red berry aromas backed by leather. Richer, fruit-forward style with some vanilla, dark coffee notes followed by some acidity and dense tannins on a long trailing finish. Decent value from #wsjwineclub but I’d like to taste more of the terroir specific earthy layers and a bit lighter touch on the oak and tannins. #wsjwineclub — 5 years ago
