2006 Bodegas Zabrin Garnacha de Fuego Old Vines

You can find this Grenache from Calatayud, Spain for $7-$10 available at Cost Plus. Steve Tanzer rates this vintage 89 pts. and it's a perennial favorite of Robert Parker. A fantastic value, from a 60 to 80 year-old hillside vines.

"Bright red. Smoky cherry and dark berry aromas are complemented by candied licorice, dark chocolate and zesty minerality. At once silky and lively, with impressively complex cherry and dark berry flavors joined by an exotic floral pastille quality on the finish. This boasts remarkable focus and persistence for the price."
