Description: 92 Points, Wine Advocate. The garanacha de Fuego, a 100% Grenache cuvee, was aged in both stainless steel and neutral French oak. There are 10,00 cases for the Unites States. This amazing wine boasts a dark ruby/purple color along with a sweet kiss of jammy black cherries intertwined with crushed rock notes that give the wine an undeniable minerality. As it hits the palate, a full-bodied, voluptuous texture takes hols and the flavor profile moves towards blacker fruits (ripe raspberries and black currants) intermixed with camphor and forest floor. This full-bodied, rich, glycerin-filled effort should drink well for 4-5 years, perhaps longer.
I thought this red (not pictured) smelled of cedar, like hamster shavings. Like the name implies, it was very full-bodied, and actually gave me a burning sensation as I drank it. Not very enjoyable.
