Winery Review: Figaro is 100% Garnacha, made from a selection of the best  grapes grown in the oldest vineyards. While not truly an  "oaked wine", a short stay in oak barrels provides a nice spicy  flavor boost. Bright violet. Dark berry and cherry aromas show  a jammy aspect. Supple and gently sweet, with good lift to its  black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. Smooth and broad 

on the finish, leaving behind a hint of spiciness. Extremely easy to drink and an excellent value.

My Review: This wine had a very "boom" taste.  I did not enjoy it at all.  The smell was a rough cherry smell, not sweet and enjoyable.  The smell was definitely interesting.  At first I got a smooth light berry flavor which was nice but a spick woody taste followed and made me not want to drink the wine at all again.  

Food:  I did not have this wine with food.
