Wine Details
Lot 446 walks the line between Old and New World. The nose is vibrant and inviting, with plum, cherry and raspberry fruit notes accented with hints of white pepper. Amply fruited on the palate, with cherries and clove in a long and pure finish. There is a lot of complexity here – perfect balance, and obvious quality that punches way above its weight class. Terrific everyday drinker and a great table wine. If you’re looking for a perfect food-pairing wine to grab by the case and serve with every meal, this is it!

Cariñena is located in the Aragon region of Spain, the spiritual home of Spanish Garnacha (Grenache). Our old friend Juan sent his winemaking team over to meet me late last year, and they brought some samples of their latest work! Though the lineup boasted 12 year old Gran Reservas and lovely Viuras, the wine that really stood out for me was the inaugural vintage of their single varietal Old Vine Garnacha, grown from 40-60 year old bush vines – I was simply blown away by the quality. This wine can now be found in select wine shops throughout Europe, but we are proud to report we are the first to bring it to the US!

Enjoyable wine
This was a very enjoyable wine. It was one of the first wines I got through Cameron Hughes and it was a nice entry into the club! For the cost, it's a GREAT value for a good, every day, dependable wine.

good wine
I liked this wine. Not as much as some of the other wines I get from this site, but it was still a good wine for a good value.

Average
OK wine, we used almost as a table wine. Not bad, but not our favorite.

Great with any meal
This wine is light & can be paired with any meal or like my husband...every meal. Can't beat the price. The taste is light but flavorful. Doesn't pack a punch, but right up my alley. Wish I bought more.

No body or flavor
I bought this with mixed emotions after reading the reviews. Unfortunately, it was not a good choice. Very light, with little or no flavor. Not a pleasant wine to drink.

Poured it out.
My wife and I thought it was off-color and bitter.

Light wine
This wine is "light." Good for sipping before dinner and as an intro for white wine only folks that need to move to red.

Good wine but not great
I enjoyed this when I first opened it . Very smooth and flavorful but it faded after a while. Good for the price

Nothing like the Spaniards
I loved this wine. We drink it with just about any meal. And for the price, it can't be beat.

It's OK
It is an OK red, but not memorable, At $10, it is good for serving at a party, among other reds.
