A perfectly solid Garnacha with pepper, bright red fruit and a touch of country style to the bouquet despite its pedestrian price. The palate is bright and tastes of plum and red berry, while the feel is good and the finish fruity and lively. What inexpensive red wine should be. ——M.S.(12/15/2010)—— 87

Exhibits dry red fruits and mushroom on the nose, with accents of forest and spice. Somewhat minty and forward on the palate, and arguably a touch gritty and sweet. Raw as it might be, no one can say this wine doesn’t have guts. Imported by The Marchetti Co. ——M.S.(6/1/2005)—— 85

This Garnacha has a strong berry nose with hints of leather, but it doesn’t hold up to airing. Within the basics, look for loud, juicy fruit that tastes like plum, strawberry and cherry mixed together. Seems most complete on the finish.——M.S.(5/1/2004)—— 85
