Comments about D'Aragon 2007 Old Vine Garnacha, Carinena:

This is a very good Spanish granache. Not quite as dry as I prefer but it is clean and the pepper that comes through with this grape is evident.
A good value for an everyday wine.

Comments about D'Aragon 2007 Old Vine Garnacha, Carinena:

We had this wine with pasta and turkey sausage in red sauce, and it was fine. We also had a glass before dinner, and it was pleasant on its own. Well balanced and drinkable now. It was about[$] and seems to be a good value at that price compared to what else is out there.

Incredible price for such quality!

Comments about D'Aragon 2007 Old Vine Garnacha, Carinena:

This is the best Grenache I've had. It's velvet texture and great taste from the first sniff to the last drop and the fact that it is almost free make me want more. I'm sorry I only bought a case.

Nice spice, great with BBQ

Comments about D'Aragon 2007 Old Vine Garnacha, Carinena:

Wasn't sure what to expect, popped it open for a BBQ. Lovely pre-dinner, great with the steak and sausages. A little lighter than I expected, but the nice spice and bit of floral made up for it. Quite different, and refreshing in makeup. I'd get it again. But don't drink it if you're in the mood for a deep, rich red. Drink it with an open mind, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Quite a nice surprise!

Comments about D'Aragon 2007 Old Vine Garnacha, Carinena:

I read the previous reviews and enthusiastically bought a bottle of this wine. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations.

It was a soft, short finish wine that was not certainly liked at the informal dinner we had at home. There are (much) better alternatives at a similar (low) price at Wine Express (e.g. Villa Pozzi Nero D'Avola, Toso Malbec)

This wine has a lot of complexity for such a good price. It is dry, with spice notes. would go well with foods of medium body - chicken, pork, pasta.

Comments about D'Aragon 2007 Old Vine Garnacha, Carinena:

This is a decent Spanish Garnacha. It has the characteristic peppery taste that is usually found in this grape. I usually prefer my garnacha
a bit drier, but for an everyday wine at this price you can't go wrong.
