Tasting - Tinto Figaro


Tasting - Tinto Figaro

Name: Tinto Figaro

Variety: 100% Garnacha

Region: Calatayud

Country: Spain

Year: 2009

Price: $6.95

Review: Figaro is 100% Garnacha, made from a selection of the best grapes grown in the oldest vineyards. While not truly an "oaked wine", a short stay in oak barrels provides a nice spicy flavor boost. Bright violet. Dark berry and cherry aromas show a jammy aspect. Supple and gently sweet, with good lift to its black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. Smooth and broad on the finish, leaving behind a hint of spiciness. Extremely easy to drink and an excellent value.

My Review: This was a nice red wine. It only had a slight taste of spice which appealed to my taste. The taste of raspberries and cherries was predominate in the wine. Overall, this was a rather good buy for the price. I would recommend the wine.
