Country: Spain / Crianza Grenache-Tempranillo
Variety: Red Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Valle Rojo / Cariñena
At 70% Garnacha and 30% Tempranillo, this hold-over from the sketchy 2002 harvest starts with an odd blend of clove and shaved wood notes, while the palate pushes basic cherry and tangy raspberry flavors.
