Tasting- Garnacha de fuego

Name: Garnacha de fuego

Variety: a red wine blend

Region: aragon

Country: Spain

Year: 2014

Price: $8.99

Winery Review: The worldwide origin of the garnacha grape, the jagged mountains of aragon are home to out vineyards. high on the mountainsides, at 300ft. above sea level, out 45 year old dry farmed garnacha vines cling to the slate and iron soils they call home, fighting for survival in this desolite region. we select only the ripest clusters to produce a wine of considerable depth and finesse, that excludes intense aromas of sweet cherries and dark plums with an exotic white pepper finish

My Review: Smelled soft with a bit of a sweet smell to it, though not a strong or a super noticible smell. It has a soft taste to it and had a thin feel to it. It was smooth but didnt have a  pronounced flavor after it was just poured. After it opened up after a while it was still very smooth and the slight dark fruit flavor came out. Though still nothing super intense. A nice wine to have on its own.
