Winery Review: The Garnache de Fuego, a 100% Grenache cuvee, was aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak. There are 10,000 cases for the US. 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 and undeniable minerality. As it hits the palate, a full-bodied, voluptuous teture takes hold and the flavor profile moves towards blacker fruits intermixed with camphor and forest floor.
My Review: Interesting wine with an almost tequila-like nose to it. On the palate, the wine was very full bodied with massive hits of earth, black cherries and pepper. The wine had a long finish with a strong tannic content.
I did not have this wine with food.
