A fresh, fun expression of garnacha from an appellation I knew little about. This aged well and is enjoyable from 1st pour. Bright, brambly, some interesting herb accents, with some flint on the finish. I had no-to-low expectations for this, which is what makes the wine journey fun. While not a cellar-monster, it feels like this can still lay down a few more years if you’re patient.

Crushable at pop n pour. Fresh and juicy red fruit. Just a smidge of celery seed. Medium minus body. Still fruit oriented and not any level of maturity. Damn delicious.

Opened one hour in advance. Annoying wax capsule. Rich plum aroma. Friendly red fruit flavors up front, tingly mid palate, mix of cherry and cranberry in the finish. Starts soft and sweet, ends tart and electric. Unusual and interesting.

Good garncha. Currants and strawberry. Ripe nose. Lightish red hinting on brown.
