EVODIA 08′ - Grenache
I have really been living La Dolce Vita these last few weeks. Hey it’s a New Year and I am a natural when it comes to celebrating – it’s one of the things I do best. Now I’m getting back to my roots, and back to my budget, before I go completely broke! I promised to review great tasting, inexpensive wines/ aka killer prices. I have one for the books today! I picked wines for a flight night that were all different varietals, from different countries. They were all very good, but the Evodia, for the taste and the mind-blowing price, took first place. A few bottles came home with me and I broke them out during the Green Bay Game on Sunday. It’s a Spanish wine made from 100% old vines of Granacha, they call it Grenache everywhere else. Yes that’s me blocking the TV and looking content, thanks to this great wine. Believe me I wasn’t crazy about the outcome of the game. I was looking forward to seeing Rogers and Brady play against each other.
This fantastic babe is grown from vines that are over 100 years old. This is a classic Granacha from Spain, deep dark violet in the glass. I got aromas of strawberry, blueberry, perfumed flowers and pink pepper, if such a thing exists. It’s a juicy bright wine that is very drinkable. It will go great with all things grilled. I had it with a cheese board and salami and it was awesome!
I gave this wine a 10 - Check V’s Rating System
TASTE 3 - Very Good
