This wine has started to show up at a lot of stores. Apparently a big, well-connected company is behind this, although I can't tell which one.
Surprisingly for a wide-distribution wine, this has some character. A saturated dark ruby/purple color, with a fragrant nose of spicy ripe raspberries, cinnamon, stones, and cream. Medium full-bodied and pure in the mouth, with penetrating, tight fruit, some youthful, but soft, tannin, and a clean, spicy fruit and mineral finish. Will soften and expand in flavor over the next year. Very good value at $9 at Whole Foods on Bellaire (also available at Spec's and some supermarkets). 87+

We liked Red Guitar Navarra and liked it a great deal. For an under $10 wine, it's unusual and quite nice.
