Winery Review: "The 2011 Rojo Garnacha has the colour of blackberry with blue tones, almost opaque. Intense and pleasant aromas of licorice and wild red and black berries fill the nose, with mineral undertones. Well-rounded and balanced on the palate, it is elegant and fresh. Red fruit, minerals and a hint of fresh thyme linger on the finish. It’s surprisingly silky and full-bodied, with a rich varietal expression."
My Review: This red wine had very dark berry aromas with hints of baking spices. On the palate it was surprisingly earthy and full-bodied with a very slight hint of plum. It was spicy and dry on the finish. I did not taste this wine with food, but I think it would have paired nicely with a red meat.
