Wine review: Gnarled vines, grown without irrigation, are a mainstay of Spain’s winemaking tradition and produce small clusters of perfectly ripe Garnacha grapes. Aromas of blackberries, plums, and cherries fill the glass and develop into luscious flavors of black stone fruit. Long, supple tannins complete this extraordinary wine.
My review: Aromas of jammy fruits, blackberries, and slight rubber gives way to a leathery feel on the palate with hints of cinnamon on the finish. The wine sticks with a gritty feeling on the drinker's teeth.
