What do you get when you make a wine from 80 year-old, organically farmed grenache grapes, harvest carefully, allow fermentation to proceed naturally with indigenous yeasts, and do not age the wine in excessive amounts of new oak? You get a truly lively, natural, garnacha that is light on its feet and delicious to drink, that's what! When our Hollywood staff first tasted this wine, they went bonkers over it, and I might add rightfully so. Where else but in Spain can you come across wine that is so full of flavor and instantly accessible, without paying an arm and a leg for it? According to the Wine Spectator: "Cherry and leafy flavors mingle in this light, fresh red. It has light tannins and a clean finish, where a hint of bitter herb adds interest. Drink now." (10/08) And listed as a Red Value Under $25 in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (02/09)
