VC Review: 92 points, Wine Advocate. The Garnacha de Fuego, a 100% Grenache cuvée, was aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak. There are 10,000 cases for the United States. 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 an undeniable minerality. As it hits the palate, a full-bodied, voluptuous texture takes hold and the flavor profile moves towards blacker fruits (ripe raspberries and black currants) intermixed with camphor and forest floor. This full-bodied, rich, glycerin-filled effort should drink well for 4-5 years, perhaps longer.
My Review: I thought this wine was interesting. It tasted kind of chalky which was a strange texture. However there was a nice fruitiness, like cherries and raspberries and cranberries, that balanced with an earthy, dirt element.
I tasted this wine without food.
