Puerto del Monte’s 2008 Old Vine Garnacha saw 15% of the wine aged for 6 months in American oak, 85% aged in tank. It is purple-colored with a nose of bright red fruits and spice box. On the palate it has plenty of chewy fruit, savory flavors, and good balance. It is a good value meant for drinking over the next 3 years. Importer: Chris Batstone, Hoopoe Wines; www.hoopoewines.com
