Five bucks! Smooth balance and nice fruit. Suggests berries with a mild peppery spice. The wine is from Spain and is %100 Grenache grapes (Garnacha in Spanish). You may have enjoyed this in previous years (Mary and I enjoyed lots of the 2003) but the label has changed for 2005. Available at Western.Compare this to the 2005 Tikalo Alba Liza (65% Tempranillo and 35% Garnacha). It was served at a party I attended in December and I enjoyed it enough to seek it out for another taste. The Alba Liza has a more earthy taste and is better with food than standing alone. $8.29 at Classic Wine Company.

Five Bucks!!!! Now that is my kind of wine.
1/25: Western has more in @ 5.99.
Just bought 2 bottles for $5.00 each at V. Richards. Definitely pushes the fruit forward.
