Montsant - Garnacha

 
This is a very good Spanish wine is 85% Garnacha and 15% Cabernet. It has a great cherry smell that is very similar to that of a Rioja, the colour is ruby red, and the taste is just completely outstanding with strong fruit and oak. The spicy food (lamb stew & chilli sauce) we are having tonight is the only one that could really overpower it. It is very smooth, though, and alltogether really enjoyable. It is a great alternative to the Rhone and Bordeaux wine I have recently concentrated on, but it is much better than the often too sweet New World wines, so it's definitely worth looking at other regions of the old world too. Great wine. Posted by Picasa
