An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!

2006 Bodegas Agustin Cubero STYLO Old Vines GARNACHA (Calatayud, Spain)
A good, ripe, chunky Grenache. Lots of cherry, black raspberry, and crushed rock powder on the nose. Mouthfilling and relatively soft, this is a good accompaniment to pastas with red sauces and meaty stews. Good acidity in the lean but intense finish. 87. Was $12.63 at Spec's on Richmond.
