Garnacha de Fuego 2007

I bought this recently at Overton and Vine to serve at book club. I thought it was very good both in taste and value.

The 2007 Garnacha de Fuego is 100% old-vine Garnacha sourced from 60-80 year old vineyards offering tiny yields. Dark ruby/purple-colored the nose exhibits spice box, earth notes, and wild cherry. On the palate it is slightly compact albeit with excellent flavors and good length. It is a steal at the asking price. Drink it over the next two years. -Robert Parker
