This 100%
Grenache (
Garnacha) wine was amazing.
Deep black ruby. Nose roars out of the glass with deep scents of vanilla and gingerbread, fragrant woodsmoke, and richly oozing blackberries and raspberries. Rich, massive, and balanced in the mouth, all at once. Intense flavors of ripe
cassis and blackberry, roasted coffee beans and smoke, and a
minerally undercurrent. Very long finish.
Reminded me of a top-notch
Pomerol (yes, I know those are largely Merlot, but that's what this tasted like). This is a very special wine for the price (around $20 at Spec's on Richmond).
