Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.
Fruity nose of cherries, blueberries, sweet strawberries, spices, wood, light alcohol, earth, leather and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.
Very fruity on the palate with cherries, black currants, black plums, graphite, wood, licorice, spices, herbs and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Spanish Granacha Syrah blend is drinking so easily now. Well-balanced, but simple and drinks like a juice.
Good right out of the bottle. Easy drinking and good for parties. Inexpensive with a Screw cap, which makes it easier. At 6 bucks, you can't beat that.
I paired it with three different Spanish cheeses (Manchego, Iberico and Cabra Al Vino), crackers and the sunset. I had it last year, and I think this time it's better, or maybe it's just the company. Anyway, the bottle finished too quickly...

Fruit bomb. Needs some barrel aging to balance it out. Not terrible.

Feb 11th, 2017Beautiful purple in color with a wide purplish rim.
Medium intensity on the nose of fresh red fruits, with black cherries, sweet raspberries, strawberries, light oak, light vanilla, licorice, earth, spices and black pepper.
Medium bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and light legs.
Extremely fruity on the palate, yet dry, with sweet raspberries, cherries, strawbery jam, black plums, rose petals, earth, red candy, spices, wet rocks and black pepper.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
What a nice Spanish red. Simple, balanced and fresh. Has a lot of fruits with nice acidity to balance it out. Best to drink it while still fresh, not one for aging. Good right out of the bottle. Enjoyable by itself and drinks like a juice, so watch out...
This is a nice surprise from Trader Joe's. Great price for a good everyday red wine.
A good party wine, and it's a twist off, so you can take it anywhere.
