Region: Alamansa, Spain
Grape Varieties: Garnacha Tintorera (aka Alicante Bouschet) and some Merlot
Obtained from: Purchased at AJs Fine Foods
Price: $10
Wino4Life Category: Everyday Wine
Aeration before tasting: Just a swirl or two, no special aeration.
Cork Condition: Natural cork - no defects or issues.
Appearance: Dark purple with a pink rim.
Aroma: Red fruits like cherry and a bit of Pomegranate, cola and some vanilla.
Taste: Fairly high in acidity, but with enough tannins to balance out the wine. A pleasant, if not long lasting finish.
The Grade: I give this one a B+. Really a very nice wine for $10. The acidity is a bit much or this would have earned an A grade. But hey, for $10 - you won't regret buying a bottle or two of this juice.
