Incredible VALUE (I think $5.99 at Trader Joe's0. Spanish from Carinena (NOT Carignan grape). This is a blend of Grenache, Tempranillo & Cabernet Sauvignon). The nose is earthy, smokey, spicy, mushroomy nose with deep black cherry fruit. The mouth is medium-bodied, with peppery spice & a long finish. I LOVE VALUE!

Good wine for dinner. A great nose with a layered bouquet. The wine is ever so slightly a astringent, but some decent berry notes in the background with a hint of cola.

Deep ruby in color with a light red/brick rim.
Slight sourness on the nose, with cherries, strawberries, cranberries, pomegranate, oak, vanilla, earth, licorice, forest floor, tar, coffee and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with high acidity and long thin legs.
Tart on the palate with sour cherries, strawberries, unripe plums, cedar, currants, dirt, forest floor and peppercorn.
Medium finish with soft tannins and strawberries.
A Drinkable Spanish red. Much better right out of the bottle, as it died after 45 minutes.
A little unbalanced, but a good food wine. I paired it with Spanish tapas.
As it opens up, it becomes bigger in body with more tannins, but also more tart. This 5 year old needs to be drunk in its youth.
13% alcohol by volume.

Nice, basic red. Leathery plum notes, balanced tannins. Warming finish in my belly.
