The 2008 Vina Alarba Old Vines Grenache (100%) is an unoaked cuvee sourced from vines over 40 years of age. Medium ruby-colored, it displays a pleasing perfume of cherry and red currants. On the palate it sports a friendly, laid-back personality with more than ample savory fruit, tasty flavors, and excellent length for its humble price. Drink this solid value over the next 3 years. Bodegas y Vinedos del Jalon’s current portfolio is first class from top to bottom.Importer: The Artisan Collection, New York, NY; tel. (212) 608-0722
