Covilalba 2005 Faristol Garnacha (Terra Alta)

Country: Spain / Faristol
Variety: Garnacha Catalonia
Winery: Covilalba / Terra Alta

The first couple of passes are not that encouraging: there’s strawberry Kool-Aid and sharp field-like aromas of thistle and bramble. But the palate is not bad at all; it is flush yet racy, with solid raspberry and plum flavors that carry onto the finish. Not a refined wine but a natural one.
