Wow, what a wine for the price. This is a delicious Garnacha. If you like that flavor and the Spanish treatment of it, this is a good one. And at the price, worthy of stocking up on it.

-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --
NOSE: expressive; ripe red berries --- “winey,” if that makes any sense; high-toned citrus; hints of cement, plastic, and green stemmy spice.
BODY: magenta-violet color of medium-deep depth; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: straightforward/simple, but not bad; medium-light strawberry note; 12.5% alc. not noticeable; very fine tannin provides a little grip on the palate; medium acidity; nice herbal aspect; medium-light to medium concentration of fruit; paired nicely with marinated steak and risotto; for Drinking Now; this is a *fantastic* QPR @ $8.
50, 5, 11, 15, 6 = 87
almost went with 50, 5, 11, 15, 7 = 88.

Pleasant straightforward red wine. Low alcohol with very light soft tannins.
