Borsao 2009 Red (Campo de Borja)

Country: Spain /
Variety: Red Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Borsao / Campo de Borja

A delicious wine and very much the model for value in Spanish Garnacha. That this has 25% Tempranillo only seems to make it better; the nose is sweet but full and plummy. The palate is pure, flavorful and sweet, with baked cherry, earthiness and a hint of chocolate. A wine to buy in quantity, i.e. by the case.
