Tasting - Tinto Figaro


Name: Tinto Figaro

Variety: Garnacha

Region: Calatayud

Country: Spain

Year: 2009

Price: $6.95

Winery Review: Figaro is 100% Garnacha, made from a selection of the best grapes grown in the oldest vineyards. While not truly an "oaked wine", a short stay in oak barrels provides a nice spicy flavor boost. Bright violet. Dark berry and cherry aromas show a jammy aspect. Supple and gently sweet, with good lift to its black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. Smooth and broad on the finish, leaving behind a hint of spiciness. Extremely easy to drink and an excellent value.

My Review: Hello oaked flavor!  You could definitely taste the buttery, oak-y flavor from the first sip of this wine.  There was also a hing of raspberry.  This wine was dry.

With Food? No
