Filón Calatayud Garnacha

Great spice! Bit of grip, tart acid- good depth and solid finish.

Damn one of the best reds for 10 bucks !!

Touch of acid at the front then dissipates. Pretty good strong finish

Where Sunday afternoon casual is wearing bespoke Oxfords and tailored khakis while hucking art books in the air and shooting at them with your favourite Ithaca shotgun.

Juicy Grenache for a song. Strong QPR.

Plum, sour cherry with a touch of wild game. Brought out the Thai herbs on a pan seared snapper.

Bargain red wine of the year?

Smoked fat. Red cherry. Sweetish. Hard acidity. Hard finish. $9

Deep ruby in color; raspberries, bried herbs, and cherri3s on the nose; medium plus acidity; mild tannins; tastes like grilled plums, eucalyptus, and candied cherries with a long finish.

Nose: sweet baking spices, vanilla. Plum and dark berries - but the aforementioned flavors much more prominent than fruit. Taste: Amber herbs, distinct tobacco (it distinctly tastes the way tobacco smells, I can almost picture loose tobacco), the tannins add a nice bitterness to balance the sweet impression of the spices - bitter plum. I am having trouble picking out a lot of distinct flavors, but “simple” doesn’t seem like the right word - more subtle than simple. This seems very well made for the price ($10). Not my preferred style, but may buy again - worth it. 89. EDIT: black pepper and a lot more fruit (very ripe raspberry) shows as it gets air. I may have liked it better right out of the bottle.
