Lurra Garnacha 2011 (about $13)






About the Wine: Garnacha is either a clone or a close relative of the French Grenache.  Where the French tend to use theirs as a blending grape the Spanish make wines that are all or mostly Garnacha.

About THIS Wine:  The wine has a violet center with a garnet rim.  Root vegetables and red fruit blend in an odd but fairly pleasant nose and deliver in a layered and spicy palate with a light finish.

Drinking This Wine:  This is okay for a sipping wine and would go well with mild rice dishes or stew.

Overall Impression:  This is a pleasant and versatile wine for under fifteen dollars.  It is a good value.
