Bobal from Utiel-Requena: Deep ruby color. Nose shows spicy red currants and black cherries, herbal tea, black pepper, sage and tobacco barn – lots to unpack. Medium-bodied with fine/dusty tannins and fresh acidity – the black cherry and tart currant fruit is doused in black pepper, scorched earth, chewing tobacco, black tea. I love the earthy complexity in this wine, and it begs for well-spiced roasted meats and veggies because it has this freshness underneath that makes it deserve a spot on the table. A screaming value.
