Another bargain find. Grenache/garancha is probably the mostly planted grape on earth. The grape is light in color and tannin but high in alcohol and has profound natural sweetness. Most grenache were gone into fortified dessert wines as well as rose or a major component in blending. The Abrazo is typically lighter red in color and saw little wood maturation. Profound nose of cotton candy, dark cherry liqueur or kirsch mixed with black plum brandy with a whaff of rose water, sweet seaweed and southern French mixed herb. This medium body wine is round and soft in tannin. A juicy offer but leaves a long finish that laced with dark chocolate and subtle white pepper. A top grade quaffer indeed. This wine naturally accompanies with a light tomato sauced based dish and pizza. 88-90 points.
