Cherries and tannins and ... grapefruit? A touch of charred wood.

Raspberry and cherry on the nose. Medium bodied with a slightly hot palate of jam and pepper. Not bad for $10. Better with food.

Quite hefty on the initial sniff. Plenty of dark fruit and oak. Perfect for a rainy day.

Dry immediate taste of dark fruit that fades fast. ( but I had this after a buttery Chardonnay. ) fruity in the middle.

$8 at Faletti's. Fine to drink by itself, probably would be good with some meat. More decent than I expected.

Recalling memories of #garnachaday with this garnacha from Castillo de Monséran, Cariñena DO. A vivid, red-magenta color in the glass, this value-priced (under $10) wine is easy to drink, with bright cherry-berry flavors and soft tannins. Pair this charcuterie, cheese, and autumn celebrations. November 2016 Wine Enthusiast Best Buy, scorekeepers!
