Tasting - Breca Tovana

Name: Breca Tovana
Variety: "Old Vine" Garnacha
Country: Spain
Region: Munebrega
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

Tasting Notes: Gnarled vines, grown without irrigation, are a mainstay of Spain’s winemaking tradition and produce small clusters of perfectly ripe Garnacha grapes. Aromas of blackberries, plums, and cherries fill the glass and develop into luscious flavors of black stone fruit. Long, supple tannins complete this extraordinary wine.

My review: This wine blends tobacco, leather, and coco together nicely on the nose.  The tannins were definitely fiery, but finished strong with great fruit flavors.

I had this wine without food.
