Tierga 2010 [Red]
Producer: La Calandria
Region: DO Navarra

La Calandria is new to the Navarra scene, but their grapes come from well established vineyards in several locations across the region. This 100% Garnacha is an excellent example of the Calandria brothers' efforts to produce quality Garnacha wines, this from their Tierga vineyard in the Moncayo foothills.

A nice dark red color. The nose is (almost) all fruit, ripe sweet berries aromas, but with a gentle touch of oak and a nice mineral background. Rich and hearty on the palate, it combines power and intense fruit flavors with subtle spice & herbs. Long, powerful, balanced despite a muscular 16% Alc. An excellent wine.
