Killer Spanish Value

2012 Garnacha Centanaria, Campo de Borja, Spain, 14% abv

This wine is a great value. It's 100% Grenache and sees only 3 months in French and American oak. The result is a modern styled wine with concentrated berry fruit, with hints of tobacco and leather to give it an earthy quality.

My reviews here don't assign scores to a particular wine. However, my regular tasting group rated the 2012 vintage of this wine 4 points higher than the 2011 vintage.

A beautiful drink-it-now wine, pair it with anything you think goes well with red wine. For around $15, enjoy!!
