Bodegas San Alejandro 'Pablo' Old Vine Garnacha, Calatayud Spain
Readers rated this wine: 
Pablo is named for the iconic 20th century contemporary artist, Pablo Picasso. Although most of us could never afford his art, we can certainly afford this awesome value wine. It is made from fruit grown on gnarled old bush vines planted up to 100 years ago. Plush black raspberry and wild briary berries, toffee, toasted spices, mocha and molasses atop a core of sunbaked earth. The palate is supple and boasts generous fruit; purple berries and raspberry frolic with violet pastilles, vanilla and spiced chocolate. This is a substantial wine with impressive intensity and textural tannin across the palate.
Pair with braised meats, red sauces, rustic stews and hard Spanish cheeses. ©copyright 2013 Daenna Van Mulligen
