Bodegas San Valero
Particular Old Vine Garnacha
Third time having this wine. Tasted this over a few days. Had this with pizza from the Killer Tomato Pizza Truck. Color was ruby red. Nose was slightly savory, a little bit of red fruit and starch. On day one the palate was tart as soon as it hit my tongue and then dissipated into strawberries and a slight minerality. On day three it became fruit forward, very drinkable and light. Moderate tannins (5/10) with a light body. Light acidic finish that dries out my mouth. Carries on through mid palate. Very good QPR.

Aug 6th, 2018Deep ruby red with light cherry accents. Strong nose of Mediterranean spices, tart cherries, and raspberries. Full bodied with amazing ripeness, this baby is tart and savory upon opening. After giving it some time, the fruit starts to shine. The leather and smoke take a back seat to black cherries, strawberries, and more raspberries. Hints of coffee and spice on the back end.
