 Tasted by theaccidentalcellar on 3/26/2024 & rated 91 points: Very nice. Took a couple of hours to open up. Brandied strawberries, cherry, earthy aspect. Quite long. (219 views)
 Tasted by PDXinSEA on 11/26/2023 & rated 90 points: Nice cranberry note to the slightly candied fruit which worked great with post-Thanksgiving leftovers. Some structure here. I'd like to try more. (328 views)
 Tasted by JerM on 7/9/2023 & rated 92 points: Bright red fruits with black ashy bottom. With time, dark florals - rose and violets, but all round effusive with time in glass. Delicate yet powerful, with savoury barndyard leathers. Crisp cherries, bitter dark fruit, chookpoo which translates later into leather spices. With time sweetens in glass, long and lingering with white-fruit tannins. Elegant, focused and tight, with long lingering savoury minty finish. Great with our HK roast goose! (593 views)
 Tasted by AndersThoresson on 8/27/2022 & rated 91 points: Bbq chicken skewers, bbq corn, zucchini, spicy tomato sauce and aioli. The wine handled this motley crew splendidly (1257 views)
 Tasted by ran.shoham on 8/23/2022 & rated 90 points: Grenache was never one of my favorites, but I liked this wine.
Drank it chilled, was very fresh, light, elegant, and tasty. (1289 views)
 Tasted by Vmanta on 3/17/2022 & rated 94 points: Brett overlays a beautiful array of violets roses and red and black fruit. Lots of pepper and spice on the pallet. Full body with high Acidity. Lovely tobacco at the finish. (1377 views)
 Tasted by John Kraainem on 2/26/2022 & rated 80 points: A smooth garnatxa from West of Madrid. La Vinya del Senyor always has good wines to taste. (1391 views)
 Tasted by KeithAkers on 12/12/2021 & rated 92 points: Sunday Brisket (Matt's, Portland OR): Nose: The nose is aromatic and fresh with red cherries, roses, strawberries, red fruits, crushed rocks, and spices. There is very good depth with a red-fruited backdrop.

Taste: The feel is Medium/full bodied with medium acidity and youthful, medium tannins. While the feel is slightly larger, there’s an elegance and vibrancy to the feel with red cherries, strawberries, red fruits, crushed rocks, and roses.

Overall: While this could use a few more years to fully come together, it’s just flat out delicious right now. (1794 views)
 Tasted by Blauweiss on 12/4/2021 & rated 92 points: Lovely aromatics on the nose, tons of red berries, sour cherries, a mild hint of licorice. On the palate lovely balance between acidity, a mild tannin to support the wine and taste that matches the nose. Very good! (996 views)
 Tasted by mflesh on 6/22/2021 & rated 89 points: To like or not to like. That's a goooood question. I didn't really like it, but it wasn't the worst either. My wife is harder to please. She didn't really like it too much. This wine catches you off guard with 1. The color of the pour (a clear, VERY light ruby red color), 2. The nose (MUCH darker than the pour might suggest) and 3. The acidity (REALLY acidic). The nose is dirty nitrogenous red cherry and tart raspberry. The entry is very acidic and remains quite jagged over the entire experience. Better with Calabasa con Pollo that kind of knocks it down, but really tough to like a la carte IMO. An 89 is a generous rating because this wine didn't really fully integrate after 3 hours of being open so it either needs more time in bottle or SOMETHING. Full disclosure: drank a little over half the bottle before waving the white towel. (1701 views)
 Tasted by Jeroen Simons on 4/26/2021 & rated 85 points: Tasted blind:

quite high alcohol, medium acids. Very fleshy and dense for such a light wine.
prune, blackberry, cherry and floral
Nice length

very subtle and delicate wine, you can feel the soft extraction and delicate ageing of this wine (1521 views)
 Tasted by AndersThoresson on 3/28/2021 & rated 90 points: Pure. That’s the word that pops into mind when trying to describe this wine. From the translucent ruby color to the cranberry freshness in the mouth. (1338 views)
 Tasted by rbrereton2 on 3/7/2021 & rated 93 points: This thoroughly exceeded my expectations. Translucent ruby red with a slight haze. A stunning nose brimming with crushed rocks, bright cherry and raspberry notes and a touch of cinnamon. Superbly balanced, elegant, just the right amount of grip and great length. Delicious. (1334 views)
 Tasted by celiopls on 2/6/2021 & rated 90 points: Colour light ruby. Nose of red fruits and herbs. On the palate very finess with red fruits and herbs and very well integrated acidity and medium tannins. Full bodied but you do not realise it as it is so balanced. Long aftertase. An excellent wine even though I would like a bit more complexity , which may come with age. (1247 views)
 Tasted by jvphoto on 12/28/2020 & rated 91 points: Really tasty. I feel words like ethereal can get over played but this wine really has that sense. Crystal clear ruby, red jolly rancher/hard candy, plum skin, Big Red gum. (1123 views)
 Tasted by BallyJames on 11/7/2020 & rated 90 points: Fresh, juicy and filled with with young red berries. Pale red color and very available now. (1239 views)
 Tasted by Yassine23 on 8/21/2020: Crunchy red fruit that becomes darker with time in the glass. Doesn't feel heavy. Lovely stuff (1197 views)
 Tasted by r.o.man on 8/3/2020: 14,5% alcohol is quite palpable here. Nice shiny red, cherries and strawberry on the nose. The palate corresponds. Good, but too much heat. (1296 views)

Garnacha

Wikipedia: In Spain, Grenache is known as Garnacha and given the likely history of the grape this is most likely the grape's original name. There are several clonal varieties of Garnacha with the thin-skinned, dark colored Garnacha Tinta (sometimes spelled Tinto) being the most common. Another variety, known as Garnacha Peluda or "Hairy Grenache" due to the soft softly hairy texture on the underside of the vine's leaves is also found in Spain, mostly in Borja and Cariñena (Aragón). Compared to its more widely planted cousin, it produces wines lower in alcohol and higher in acidity that show spicy and savory notes more readily as they age.[11] Widely planted in northeastern and central Spain, Garnacha was long considered a "workhorse" grape of low quality suitable for blending. In the late 20th century, the success of the Garnacha based wines from Priorat in Catalonia (as well as the emerging international attention given to the New World Rhone Rangers) sparked a re-evaluation of this "workhorse" variety. Today it is the third most widely planted red grape variety in Spain (behind Tempranillo and Bobal) with more than 203,300 acres (82,300 ha) and is seen in both varietal wines and blends.[3]

Garnacha plays a major role in the Denominación de Origen Calificada (DOC/DOQ) wines of Rioja and Priorat and the Denominación de Origen (DO) wines of Navarra and all southern Aragonese and southern Catalonian appellations, plus the mountainous areas just southwest of Madrid: Méntrida and Cebreros. In Rioja the grape is planted mostly in the warmer Rioja Baja region located in the eastern expanse of the wine region. Usually blended with Tempranillo, Garnacha provides juicy fruitiness and added body. In recent years, modern Rioja producers have been increasing the amount of Garnacha used in the blend in order to produce earlier maturing and more approachable Riojas in their youth. Garnacha is also used in the pale colored rosados of Rioja.[3] The vine has a long history in the Navarra region where it has been the dominant red grape variety with nearly 54% of the region's vineyard planted with Garnacha. Compared to neighboring Rioja, the Garnacha-based blends of Navarra are lighter and fruitier, meant for earlier consumption.[5]

Spain

Wine Map on weinlagen-info

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net

Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.
