Decanter’s 10 Top Full Bodied Spanish Reds April 2021
100% Cariñena/Carignan Organic
"This wine is made exclusively from Cariñena/Carignan (called Samsó in Catalunya) from ancient 80 years old vines grown in poor, rocky and calcareous soil called “tapàs blanc”, from which Romans extracted stones for their buildings. Thanks to soil’s austerity, Cariñena offers a unique expression, with a high concentration, rich in nuances and complexity. Aromas display a series of black fruit and forest berries, along with floral aromas. The wine’s potential longevity is displayed on the palate, with a smooth entry, full-bodied, complex and a long spicy finish." - Winemakers Notes
I enjoyed the wine in so far as it is well rounded - the taste of black fruit evident - not sure about the liquorice though. All in all for the price a pleasant easy drinking wine.
Super ripe very smooth dry red, with just a hint of Cherries in that Italian style and You are able to drink this wine with or without food, Very good value at $20.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
