| 2000 Vina Alarba Old Vines Grenache Calatayud, Aragon, Spain WB Rating: 85 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $4.99 (Premire Cru, Whole Foods) Type: Spanish red Principal varietal(s): 100% Grenahce Crystalline deep purple color. Pure, clean fruit -- strawberry, plums, peaches. Excellent balance. Overall, not as fleshy as the amazingly good 1998, a bit higher acid, a bit shorter in the midrange and finish. But these are quibbles for a wine this good at this price. (The quoted price is from Premier Cru.) - WB Team 2002-05-15 [Back] |
