Community Tasting Notes 4

    June 14, 2013 - light color, redberry flavor some spice, good value and still has some life

    May 28, 2011 - Floral and berry aromas lead up to flavors of blackberry and spice accented with fine-grained, plush tannins. Nice with Mexican food like beef fajitas or chicken tacos with ancho chiles.

    February 4, 2011 - Some mean-spirited fellow gave this only 70 pts but no commentary to defend that position. While I am not going to write poetry to this bottle, or even go out of my way to accumulate more, in the whole gamut of things it is way better than that. The Spanish econo-red has taken the country by storm in the last few years with any number of really excellent, interesting and fairly complex wines at fantastic values. This grenache is fruit-forward, some earthy-spicy notes to provide depth and character, not particularly long on the palate, but overall a good value.

    July 15, 2010 - Cherries, blueberries and some strawberries on the nose. A hint of spiciness.
    Medium bodied and very fruit-forward with decent acidity coming through. Six grams of RS shows. Cranberry tartness before the rather short finish.
    A simple and uninspiring wine that's still delivering decent value. Wouldn't mind drinking this in the after hours - with a kebab.
