Variety: Old Vine Garnacha
Region: Munebrega, Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95
Critic Review: Gnarled vines, grown without irrigation, are a mainstay of Spain’s winemaking tradition and produce small clusters of perfectly ripe Garnacha grapes. Aromas of blackberries, plums, and cherries fill the glass and develop into luscious flavors of black stone fruit. Long, supple tannins complete this extraordinary wine.
My Review: The nose on this wine smelled like fruit, and I was overpowered by the cherry smell. I did not have high hopes for liking this wine. While I was correct, I was surprised about some of the flavoring in this wine. I was able to get some plum mixed in with the cherries, but the tannins really overtook my palate. I was left with a very bitter taste.
Overall, I did not really enjoy this wine.
