Tasting - Garnacha de Fuego Old Vine

Name:  Garnacha de Fuego Old Vine
Variety:  Grenache
Region:  Aragon
Country:  Spain
Year:  2013
Price:  $8.95

Winery reviewThe Garnache de Fuego, a 100% Grenache cuvee, was aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak. There are 10,000 cases for the US. This amazing wine boasts a dark ruby/purple color along with a sweet kiss of jammy black cherries intertwined with crushed rock notes that give the wine and undeniable minerality.  As it hits the palate, a full-bodied, voluptuous teture takes hold and the flavor profile moves towards blacker fruits intermixed with camphor and forest floor.

My review:  This oaked Grenache wine was full of black cherries and oaky, buttery aromas on the nose. On the palate, the wine was dry and rich with tannins. The flavor profile consists of black-fruit and raspberries.


Food:  Did not have with food
