By Chris and Sherry Hardie
The price of wine has gone up, but there are still some excellent wine bargains to be found. This Spanish wine fits that category admirably.
Garnacha, also known as grenache, originated in Spain and is widely grown in southern France. It’s commonly used as a blend because it is high in alcohol and has lower tannins.
But there is no shortage of red berry flavors in this wine, which comes from the Carinena region. The yield is lower, but the grapes are full of flavor. The wine is fermented with various techniques, bottled within one year and meant to be consumed young.
Sherry: “Medium-bodied and very smooth with strawberry and raisin flavors.” 3-1/2 stars
Chris: “Floral notes with flavors of blackberry and strawberry.” 3-1/2 stars
Available locally for about $6.
Coming next week: Kendall-Jackson Avant
