Value Alert- Another winner from Spain

2012 Borsoa  "Tres Picos" Garnacha, Campo de Borja, Borsoa, Spain 

The current vintage of this Spanish Grenache is great. I want to thank my golfing buddy Dave Lunan for reminding me about this wine. Dave loves to find a great value wines and many times his choices come from outside the United States.

The 2012 Borsoa has aromas of flowers, berries and smoke/tobacco.The color is dark, the fruit is upfront. There is some heat but it's all balanced in my humble opinion. This is not a wimpy red wine enjoy it with BBQ, grilled meats or even a savory meaty flatbread or pizza.

Buy at $14.00 !!!!! It should readily available at many wine shops. I purchased mine at K&L in Hollywood. 

Debut Post- The Launching Pad

In my debut post I would like to thank all my wine drinking friends for sharing your enthusiasm, encouragement and good wine over the past decade. You know who you are! My goal is to find and share good value wines at all price points.

2012 Carlisle Zinfandel, Sonoma County, $25.00

This is still a young wine with great balance of fruit acid and mild tannins at initial uncorking. This is not an overly ripe fruit bomb. I hope I will be patient enough to wait another year or two and try another bottle.

Day 2- after being gassed and refrigerated the youthful fruit and acid are still present. Great wine for a around $25.00, buy it now it will go fast. I purchased mine at K&L Wines and The Wine House.
