Winery Review: "The Garnacha de Fuego, a 100% Grenache cuvee, was aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak. There are 10,000 cases for the United States. This amazing wine boasts a dark ruby/purple color along with a sweet kiss of jammy black cherries intertwined with crushed rock notes that give the wine an undeniable minerality. As it hits the palate, a full-bodied, voluptuous texture takes hold and the flavor profiles moves towards blacker fruits (ripe raspberries and black currants) intermixed with camphor and forest floor. This full-bodied, rich, glycerin-filled efforts should drink well for 4-5 years, perhaps longer."

My Review: On the nose, there were strong hints of strawberries and dark berries. The taste was not very fruit but nice, earthy, and nice little hints of spice and herbs. The wine was dry, a little drier than I prefer but added a nice change for this group of wines. I actually liked this wine a lot, and would recommend to friends and drink it again myself.
