2001 Vina Alarba Old vines Grenache

I would just like to let everyone here on this fine board know that this can be had for $5 a bottle and it is THE BEST RED VALUE AROUND. Excellent purity, lovely nose & delicious fruit with a long smooth finish. I can see this hang around for 5 years to. Better than any french grenache that costs 2 or 3 times the money. Pick up a case NOW!!

I wholeheartedly agree. Wonderful fruit, great character, and an absolute steal for the money. It's about $7 here in Atlanta, and I've been buying it regularly.

tried a bottle of this last night and liked it. one of those rare wines, i think, that actually tastes like the label says it does [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] color of burgundy, with tastes of cherries and other red fruit, with white pepper on the finish, which lasts awhile. and there are some tannins to take this one a ways. not a great wine, but a good one -- and a bargain at $5.99.
