Tasting- "Layer Cake Garnacha 2011 Frontline"

Name:  Layer Cake Garnacha 2011 Frontline
Variety: Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price:  Regular $18, Sale $7.95

Winery Review:  The Layer Cake Garnacha from Calatayud, Spain is rich and powerful, yet clean and balanced. Layered with aromas of ultra-ripe black fruit. On the palate, the wine shows intense dark fruit with a background of rich dark chocolate and fresh ground coffee with a long creamy finish.


My Review:  This wine smelled like raisins, cranberries and vanilla.  This wine was delicate, soft and tasted like pepper and cranberry with a spicy, but soft finish.  This wine should be paired with a meal that has some fatty components to bring out the different flavors.
