Tasting - Granrojo Garnacha

Name:  Granrojo Garnacha
Variety:  100% Garnacha
Region:  La Tierra de Castilla
Country:  Spain
Year:  2011
Price:  $18.00

Winery review: The 2011 Rojo Garnacha has the colour of blackberry with blue tones, almost opaque. Intense and pleasant aromas of licorice and wild red and black berries fill the nose, with mineral undertones. Well-rounded and balanced on the palate, it is elegant and fresh. Red fruit, minerals and a hint of fresh thyme linger on the finish. It’s surprisingly silky and full-bodied, with a rich varietal expression.

My review:   This dark wine was very aromatic with licorice and berries. The tannins make the wine rich and full-bodied on the palate. It presents flavors of red fruit with hints of rock or mineral.

Food:  Did not have with food
