TASTING NOTE: The juicy and ripe 2014 Varietal Garnacha wants to showcase the typicity of the grape, finesse and texture, ripe with some aromas of plums and damsons, eminently Mediterranean with plenty of aromatic herbs and a silky, rather velvety mouthfeel with polished tannins after six months in American barrels and another six months in a 10,000-liter French foudre. Delicious. Drink Date: 2016-2018. Score - 89+ (Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com, Aug. 30, 2016) Price $ 21.95
