I discovered Borsao a number of years back, when it was my go-to $5 wine. Everyone else adopted it as such, and so its popularity grew, along with its price. Now it’s everyone’s favorite $10 wine. Borsao also makes a wonderful Garnacha called Tres Picos.
This is a very dark wine, and its nose comes through with lush blackberry and plum aromas, draped in a savory earthiness. The palate brings that dark fruit along with a strong sense of minerality. The acidity is racy, while the tannins are firm but not too forceful. I cooked with it, but also enjoyed a glass or two in the process.

Ink, blackberry, olive, a bit of a meaty thing too. The palate is well designed with a great acid backbone, some freshness, a big bold blackberry note, a rather soft mouthfeel, a reasonably long finish with blackberry and a slight bitter, olive note.
