- wondersofwine - 12-22-2008 Bottled by Bodegas y Vinedos del Jalon Dominacion de Origen Calatayud, Spain 100% Garnacha/Grenache grape 13% alcohol Sells in the $7.00-$8.00 per bottle range Imported by the Henry Wine Group, Benicia, CA Label notes mountainside vineyards, high altitude (2500 ft.) and dry climate. Fermented/aged in concrete tanks. Unoaked. Rosy color--bright and attractive with some transparency. Red berry nose and flavors. Label says crisp, dry wine with strawberry flavors but I would add maybe not quite ripe strawberries with some pomegranate as well. Pleasant and food friendly with chicken or ground beef dishes. Might be nice paired with ratatouille but I haven't tried that combo yet. I would purchase again. |
