Ziríes 2014 [Red]
Producer: Bodegas Ziríes

100% garnacha, partial whole bunch fermentation, nurtured 15 months in used 500 liter French oak barrels, organic/biodynamic.

Dark in color with rich/ripe bramble berry fruit, rose petals, brushy upland herbs ("garrigue") plus a touch of black pepper and minerals.
Tasty, serious stuff with excellent fruit, user friendly tannins, mouthfilling chewy texture with balance and good persistence. Excellent.
