Somewhat clear cherry red with a garnet tinge. Strawberry jam, pepper, and bramble nose. Light to medium bodied, raspberries, cherries, some spice, soft tannins, a bit of smoke and heat, and a medium finish. Not profound, of course, but a very good value under $10. Somebody needs to explain that picture on the label to me.

Des fruits rouges avec des notes épicées. Une belle intensité fruitée bâti sur des tanins bien enrobés avec une bonne persistance en bouche. Joli vin gourmand à prix correct !
One of my favorites in the under-$10 wine world, this is a consistently good Spanish grenache. Couldn't tell much difference between this, the 2014 vintage and my previous experiences with the 2011/2012 vintages. Too often you'll find a wine at this price point that tastes unbalanced, or has off-putting flavors such as rubber, or an unripe taste. Not this one. Very aromatic, not terribly complex, but delicious, and an ideal weekday dinner wine. 14.5% ABV.

Color: deep blood red with little to no translucency. Nose: slight red fruit and coffee. White pepper takes presidence. Flavor: mutted red fruit, coco, earth, and white pepper. Not complex by any means, but consistent flavors throughout. Despite a high abv, no heat, but a bit of tartness that lingers from the middle until the end. Finish is a bit biting, but all-in-all pleasant, and lingers half-a-minute or so. Light bodied.
Enjoyable grenacha that isn't overly fruity. Would prefer to hold onto the bottle, but drinkable now. Let it sit opened an hour at least to settle the bitter elements.

A nose of dark fruit and spme spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, raspberry, cola, chocolate and spice on finish. A very good value, cool label. www.winelx.com

D.O. Calatayud; 1/13/2017-1/15/2017 (Área de Calatayud): Con un ligero toque de barrica, sigue siendo un vino bastante joven. Demasiado ácido, no obstante, para nuestro gusto, pero agradable.

Very solid, everyday Grenache. Amazing QPR. Paired ours with pizza and the subtle pepper flavors went very well together.
