A wine of Garnacha from Navarra.
Navarra is in Northern Spain, next to Rioja.
Garnacha from this region is known to be made into rose wine, but this is an intense red wine made from old vine Garnacha.
Ripe black fruit and purple flower. Herbs.
Coffee from oak and sweetness from ripe fruit.
Soft, powdery tannin gives nice texture.
The way they integrate together might not live up to the level of each components, but still good wine.
We had this with Ginger flavored Pork. It was good pairing.
Additional note: wine tasted even better the day after!
