Care Garnacha Nativa Vinas Viejas 2017

Gotta say - there are times when, like some episode of Star Trek or Westworld or some such, that we have to ponder if we are living in an alternate universe, where you can buy a juicy, uber-quaffable, 93-POINT (yes, you read that right) Spanish bottle of tasty red for a neuron-jaggling TWELVE DOLLARS. How can it be possible?? We don’t ponder it TOO much, we just say: “we’ll take every bottle you have…”

This is truly a gusto-filled lip-smacker, 100% Garnacha (Grenache) -- redolent of strawberries, chocolate-covered cherries, and sweet toasted spices. Did we mention $12? Drink it with unhindered abandon. Oh, and...here’s what James said in his 93-point review: “A juicy and delicious garnacha with crushed-berry and chocolate character. Full-bodied yet tight and balanced with a balance of ripe tannins and flavor. Drink or hold.”

So, even if we are in the Matrix, just roll with it. We are...having BBQ tonight, oh yes!

** We bought as much as they’d give us, but you know how that goes...while it lasts...!
