Acentor, Calatayud (Aragon, Spain) Garnacha 2016

Nov 20, 2018

By Michael Franz

 With an additional year of aging by comparison to Garnacha wines from the 2017 vintage, this shows slightly toned-down fruit and modestly tuned-up savory notes, but is still full of fruity fun.  Red berry tones join cherry flavors, and the soft tannins lend a bit of backbone without imparting any astringency or hardness to the finish.  In a word:  Yum.
