Anciano, Calatayud (Aragon, Spain) Garnacha 2015

 An increasingly popular grape variety with American consumers, Grenache (or Garnacha in Spanish) offers a supple texture but rich flavor.  It often yields wines that taste one-dimensional, but this rendition bucks that trend.  Perhaps because of vine age, it offers echoes of coffee and chocolate alongside its dark cherry fruit, resulting in a sophisticated wine with genuine complexity.
