2007 Atteca

A Red wine (Garnacha (Grenache)) from Old Vine Calatayud in Spain.

Description/Review: Anyone who says they don't like Garnacha (Grenache in France) hasn't tried the Atteca. This wine certainly borrows its style from the powerful Chateauneuf de Papes in the southern Rhone. Inky purple, structured, ripe and forward with lots of blue and purple fruits, the wine goes on and on. A mouthful of yumminess, its a great fireside sipper (great for today!) or maybe better with garlic rubbed skirt steak. - Erskine [91 pts. STanzer/90 pts. WSpectator/RParker]
