Xabec Montsant Carignan Garnacha

Pretty basic, vanilla and plums, and the finish, which is sour cream and chive potato chips. Pretty wacky

The wine is a blend of 50% Carignan and 50% Garnacha, or Grenache. It's style can be described as old world earthiness combined with a new world freshness and fruit. It pours a deep reddish purple into the glass with aromas of sweet spice, black fruit, a smokey vanilla accent and a hint of minerality. The palate is layered, complex and concentrated. It starts off with dark fruits - blackberries and plums - then evolves into the spice, minerality and earthy notes of a Spanish wine. This wine is savory, ripe and succulent, and has definitely benefited from the time in bottle as it is well integrated, perfectly balanced and has a lovely long finish. 20$-25$ CAN

Full-bodied goodness! Xabec 2008. 50% Carignan & 50% Garnacha from the province of Tarragona (Catalunya, Spain). Dark red fruits. Spice. Oak. Cheers🍷

Awesome nose. Floral, herbal, and spicy, with abundant fruit, including notes of blackberry. Somewhat astringent on the finish, but a nice value red.

Lovely light red as first step into a paella.

Suppleness is undeniable and will please most. Bold, rich, spicy notes and small berry fruit flavors.

Nose is floral, like walking through the local arboretum. Lots of different hints of. Tasting the wine you get hit with sweet fruits, not overly sweet but definitely not a dry tannin wine. I think it’s a pretty easy going wine that sits well by itself.

Hints of black raspberry, lavender and sage. Medium core with a smooth fine tannin finish underlined by some chocolate and peppery notes.

Wow. This is excellent. A fantastic deal.

Beautiful nose! Roasted poultry with pomegranate. Nice structure. $12
