I finally got a chance to try the Garnacha de Fuego that you were kind enough to let me have a bottle of......and all I can say is you are a much better woman than I because I would have kept this yummy under ten dollar wine to myself. I can taste the rich dark jamminess that comes with old vines.
And the experts agree:
"The grapes for this new project were sourced from 60- to 80-year-old vines whose already low yields were reduced an additional 70% by the weather conditions of the vintage. A glass-coating opaque purple, remarkably deep for a wine of this price made from Garnacha, the wine offers a nose of brooding black cherry and blueberry. Concentrated, ripe, and balanced on the palate, this flavorful, lengthy effort will drink well over the next four years. It is an outstanding value."-Jay Miller Wine Advocate 89 Points
