Exquisite shining ruby in the glass. Seductive perfume. Really pure core of clean Grenache fruit. Elegant, Burgundian, mineral, saline and red fruited. Smells like a landscape. Perfect balance, light but compact. Love.

Many people nowadays in #Spain are talking about how #garnacha can seem like a #pinotnoir and most of the time the only thing they have in common is a pale color. This wine I tasted blind and it really showed me how similar they can get. It was more tannic than most pinots. As a #grenache from #navarra it was fantastic

Garnacha isn’t usually my thing, but this was a welcome exception. Stunning ruby color, soft tannins, alcohol in check. Really elegant.

Garnacha grapes, very pinot noir like. A steal at this price/quality point. 94 Parker

Bright ruby color and bursting with fresh raspberry and spicy, herbal notes with thyme and bay leaf dominant. A bright flowery tone, too. Medium weight in the palate but with real personality - raspberry ones and blueberries but also some cool herbal notes and a touch of stoney minerality. Grippy tannins (from the (used) oak) and great balance. This is juicy, delicious drinking pleasure.

Bright. Médium tanins. A bit spicy. Good with food or by itself.
