Chunky and clumsy on the nose, with unrefined flavors of apple skins, red plum and cranberry. Shows hints of licorice and spice late in the game, but overall it’s lean and short. And what’s with the Sherry bottle? Seems strange for a red table wine.

Look for the wine wrapped in banana-yellow paper, and you’ll likely be surprised and pleased by its ripe, clean aromas and easygoing plum and cherry flavors. It’s medium-bodied and nice on the palate, with a smooth, nonprobing finish. It’s 75% Garnacha and 25% Tempranillo done well.

Aromas of red licorice are unrefined and sweet. Plum and berry flavors are intense and forward, too much so. Finishes raw and sugary.

A bit rubbery and hot is this Garnacha/Tempranillo blend. But while it’s mostly just bland and plump, some probing will uncover plum and berry notes and some good structure. But still too simple and heavy to merit higher.

Racy red wine, with mild bramble and brine aromas to go with spunky cherry-plum flavors. Quite zesty, bright and juicy, but solidly put together and not overly acidic. Even shows a distant chocolaty side, which is not uncommon for young Garnacha.

A little hard and earthy on the nose, with some sawdust. The palate is narrow and lean, with smoky raspberry and roasted plum flavors that teeter toward soupy but hold onto enough freshness to be considered earthy. Fades quickly on the finish; 75% Garnacha and 25% Tempranillo.

Soft and flat on the nose, with creamy milk chocolate aromas and sweet candy scents. The palate is quite soft and a bit soupy, with dull but sweet and chocolaty berry flavors. Finishes without much edge. In a word, it’s stewy.

Spiced berry aromas are dense and suggest raisin, but overall this is a clean, inexpensive blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo that is satisfying and highly competent. Flavors run smoky, rubbery and dark, but not baked or too heavy. Toasty and roasty on the finish, too.
