Almost all Garnacha with small amounts of Carignan & Grenache Blanc. For me, Grenache heavy wines show best when they pick up weight with air. This remains nimble & finessed, yet shows good power & structure on the raspberry & herbal palate. Love what’s happening in Spain these days. — 4 years ago
Blinded, difficult to distinguish from Barossa Valley; I guess.
Great taste! — 8 days ago
Hard to believe I’m the first one! I am really enjoying this Malbec. I don’t know all the correct terms, but not oaky in the least; tart but not too tart; and easy to drink! — 3 years ago
#garnachatintorera #alicantebouschet I’m stoked because I tasted it blind and thought this is Tintorera! And I was right. Deep color. With Tintorera I’m starting to understand the vibe. It’s Syrah color and aromas (savoury, spicy and peppery) with the richness and juiciness of Garnacha Tinta. This is a Basque winery that I believe just buys bulk and commercializes their wines, or at least this series of wines. More or less 6€ a bottle in #Spain its a killer deal of a wine. I personally am not a fan of cartoon like labels. — 4 years ago
Crisp acidity and light bodied. Strong cherry flavor but it lacks some backbone. Great light wine. — 2 years ago

Drank this with some lentil soup and braised cabbage that a dear friend made for me. Solid pairing. Wine itself starts out mineraly and leaves you with just the slightest tinge of a dried date. I’m also obsessed with the ruby red color. — 8 days ago
