G Garnacha 2011

(Made from fruit grown on vines that are reportedly about 120 years old, near the Vino de Madrid zone) Bright ruby. Intense floral and spice notes accent aromas of fresh raspberry and cherry. Very sweet and silky, with ripe red berry and spicecake flavors lifted by a kick of white pepper. Finishes sweet, spicy and long, with intense raspberry confit and bitter cherry character and very good clarity. Score - 90. (Josh Raynolds, vinousmedia.com, Sept. 2012)
