Acclaim
“Smoky with notes of soft cherries and blueberries, along with some milk-chocolate flavors. We found this went well paired with salad and grilled mortadella and provolone sandwiches. The Garnacha (also Grenache) had some guts to it, despite its softness. Nice one. The grape is indigenous to Spain but common in France (and even used in Châteauneuf-du-Pape). It is a popular grape for both blending and as a stand-alone.”

"From Spain comes the 2018 Borsao Tres Picos, a husky and concentrated 100 percent garnacha. Pair it with fare as varied as chili and barbecue, baked red-sauced pastas and ripe cheeses. There are notes of blackberry and vanilla."
