Xabec Montsant Carignan Garnacha

Pretty basic, vanilla and plums, and the finish, which is sour cream and chive potato chips. Pretty wacky

The wine is a blend of 50% Carignan and 50% Garnacha, or Grenache. It's style can be described as old world earthiness combined with a new world freshness and fruit. It pours a deep reddish purple into the glass with aromas of sweet spice, black fruit, a smokey vanilla accent and a hint of minerality. The palate is layered, complex and concentrated. It starts off with dark fruits - blackberries and plums - then evolves into the spice, minerality and earthy notes of a Spanish wine. This wine is savory, ripe and succulent, and has definitely benefited from the time in bottle as it is well integrated, perfectly balanced and has a lovely long finish. 20$-25$ CAN

Awesome nose. Floral, herbal, and spicy, with abundant fruit, including notes of blackberry. Somewhat astringent on the finish, but a nice value red.

Lovely light red as first step into a paella.

Suppleness is undeniable and will please most. Bold, rich, spicy notes and small berry fruit flavors.

Hints of black raspberry, lavender and sage. Medium core with a smooth fine tannin finish underlined by some chocolate and peppery notes.

Wow. This is excellent. A fantastic deal.

Nice Spanish red

50/50 blend of Carignan & Garnacha - Mon Sant, Spain - very smooth, full bodied, fruity, well blended

Light but very good. Not a full bodied wine to go with red meat, but good on its own or with chicken/fish etc.
