Almira 2009 Los Dos Old Vines Grenache-Syrah (Campo de Borja)

Country: Spain / Los Dos Old Vines
Variety: Grenache-Syrah Northern Spain
Winery: Almira / Campo de Borja

Like most base-level Garnachas, this one has a sweet, candied aromatic cover. But unlike many it has depth, purity and avoids boring, offensive sweetness. The flavors of raspberry and boysenberry are bright, and it maintains balance and integrity through the finish. A nice wine for under $10.
