2006 Quinta Cruz Graciano

[winoweenie]

The other strange varietal in our Santa Cruz Mtn wine club shipment. According to the back label " Graciano is a Spanish grape grown primarily in the Rioja and is very rare in the new world.A low-yeilding aromatic, and intensely flavored variety that typically provides a deep core of fruit and structure to blends." "There are less than a dozen 100% Graziano products made in the world." As with the Touriga this is a delight to experience. Got so wrapped up in the blue fruits and spices I lost track of really evaluating this bugger.
Do know it was quits pleasurable. Same score as the Touriga. WW
