A colorful label for a colorful grape! This is 100% Garnacha Tintorera, the Spanish name for France’s Alicante Bouschet. Most red wines have white pulp and juice - the finished wine’s red color is extracted from the grape skins during maceration. Garnacha Tinotorera is one of a small number of grapes that have red flesh and juice - giving the wine an extra dark color. The result - a big, plush, dark-fruited, wine that’s just plain fun to drink. Recommended by The Washington Post as a fine “Recession Buster” - gulp a little down tonight!
“Not a lot of complexity here, just in-your-face, smoky, juicy fun. It's garnacha (grenache) at its cheap-date best.” - Dave McIntyre, The Washington Post, August 11, 2010
