COMPOSITION: 88% Garnacha, 12% Syrah REGION: Almansa TASTING NOTES: "Bright purple. Fresh, spicy bouquet of blackberry, blackcurrant, raspberry and wild strawberry. The absence of any oak influence allows the pure, vibrant berry flavors to take center stage. The bright, juicy finish highlights spicy blackberry and a subtle note of black pepper. This outstanding value, which could pass for a good Saint-Joseph, is a blend of 88% garnacha and 12% syrah." 88 points Steve Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar (more info)
