"Also a noteworthy success, as well as an excellent value, the soft, round, dark ruby-colored 2011 Tinto Old Vines Garnacha (from 40+-year-old vines) reveals copious strawberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of balsam wood, underbrush, pepper and spice. A classic Grenache from Spain, it should be enjoyed over the next 1-2 years."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #208, August 2013), 87 pts
"Deep ruby. Strawberry and raspberry on the nose, with floral and cracked pepper qualities adding complexity. Tangy red fruit flavors are sharply focused and given a bitter edge by a note of cherry skin. Finishes with good snap, no tannins and a lingering floral quality. - JR"
"This 100% old vines Garnacha displays aromas of red berries with hints of spice. It is rich in red fruit flavor on the palate with notes of herbs and oak and has a fresh lively lingering finish. A good example of easy drinking Spanish Garnacha."
