Natalie's Score: 90/100

Exotic and dark with pencil led, graphite, anise and black plums on the nose and palate of this full-bodied, smooth Spanish red wine made from the country's iconic Graciano grape. And now for something completely different ....

Graciano food pairings: thick stew of potatoes and spicy sausage, pan-seared venison with grilled asparagus and blue cheese-bacon mashed potatoes, grilled lamb steaks and spicy chorizo mash, lamb chops, smoked cheese.

Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

An inky brew of Spain's Graciano grape. Cherry, plum, toasted oak, dusty, cellar floor, hint of floral. The tannins are grippy with medium+ acidity. Long tannic finish. Red meat pairing.
Tasted: January 2015
This full-bodied Spanish red wine is produced by Gonzalo Rodriguez. Aromas of violets crushed in brambleberry preserves. Pair with cured meats. The 2010 vintage of the Graciano offers lots of pleasure. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
