  • 2016 Bodegas Nekeas Garnacha El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa 87 Points

    Spain, Navarra

    Retailer tasting. Bright red color. Notes of cherry and red fruit with peppery undertones. Juicy and bright. Flavors of cherry and white currants, soice and pepper. A second taste later in the evening reveals a slight sour note on the palate. I think this would make for a nice summer patio barbecue wine. Domino was unimpressed, fwiw. 87-88 pts. $12.99.

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

  • 2016 Quest 88 Points

    USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles

    Retailer tasting. Minty, bordering on menthol overtones, with red and black fruit underneath. Red fruit on the palate, with some menthol as well. Finishes a little on the short side. Would have guessed Aussie if drinking this blind. $22.99.
