Red Guitar is one of a handful of quality proprietary wines from Spain that fill the need for an inexpensive wine for casual enjoyment. Blended from Spain’s two flagship red grapes — Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache) — Red Guitar has everything going for it with a deep richly hued color, forward ripe berry aromas, bright fruit flavors, crisp acidity, moderate 13.9% alcohol and good length. Air this wine a little then enjoy with summer grilled meats.
