Winery review: The wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice and white pepper.  The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich.  The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality.  This wine is fruity, juicy and shows a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness.  Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses, etc. 

  

My Review: This wine had a very pleasing smell.  Even though it’s a dark red I didn’t get just a red wine smell I could pick up the cherries and other berries.  The taste however was just not good.  I couldn’t taste the berries or anything it was like a wham of thick tartness.  I did not enjoy this wine.  Would not try it again.

Food: I did not have this wine with food.
