The 2006 Garnacha Vieilles Vignes was sourced from a 59-year-old vineyard and aged for 3 months in barrique. Dark ruby in color, it has an alluring nose of cedar, spice box, black cherry, and red currants. Smooth and ripe on the palate, the wine has a seamless personality and a lengthy finish. It will evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now and over the next 4-5 years. It too is an outstanding value.
