Review: Red and purple violet aromas are underscored by bits of leather on the nose of this Garnacha. The palate is smooth and even-keeled with red and black fruit flavors in abundance. Blackberry and red raspberry are of note. Spices such as black pepper and a tiny hint of cocoa emerge on the finish, along with a touch of graphite.
My Review: This was a very good red wine. It's a very smooth wine with good spice and earthy flavors. This is also the first wine I've actually detected a cocoa flavor. This is a very solid Garnacha.
