This 100% Garnacha (Grenache) delivers a delightful array of spice and fresh strawberry-like flavors. It’s an everyday kind of wine–at a very attractive price–that manages to provide a balanced, almost sweet savory, mixture of flavors. Mild tannins mean it takes a chill nicely, so remember it for the summertime. It’s a great $11 wine.
