). This value Garnacha is a fruity number with a no-nonsense berry character and clarity throughout. Cherry and plum aromas are vibrant, while flavors of black plum, boysenberry and medicinality are more than fine. Pepper, spice and overall warmth carry the finish. — (5/1/2013) —88

Here’s another good value red from Borsao. It’s about as potent and packed a wine as you’ll find for $7, and while it’s jumpy, young and aggressive, it’s also full of jammy black fruit, sticky extraction and firm tannins. A classic mouthfiller with spunk, color and heft. ——M.S.(10/1/2010)—— 86

Warm, crusty and attractive up front, with a ripe blend of plum, raspberry and pepper flavors. Seems plush and focused for such an inexpensive wine, yet it’s also a little bit juicy and wild. Made in the fresh style that Borsao excels at. Drink now. ——M.S.(12/15/2008)—— 87
