Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2016

Winery review: The wine has a brick red color with a bouquet of red raspberries, spice and white pepper. The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich. The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality. This wine is fruity, juicy and shows a great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness.
My review: To begin, this smelled of some kind of berry with hints of earthy tones. Not really much else to pull out from the smell. The taste was of again some kind of berry, earthy elements, some vegitation, and cherry. The wine was kinda dry which was a nice touch. Not the best wine I've had but not the worst either. Wouldn't pick this up for myself.
I did not have this with food.
