2008 Viña Borgia (100% Grenache) (Campo de Borja, Spain)


Just an insane value. A really good wine for under $6.

Deep ruby with loads of youthful violet hues. Nose jumps out of the glass with fresh raspberry liqueur, flowers, and a hint of stone. Pure and intense, with tangy flavors of crushed back raspberries and minerals. Full-bodied, with lively acidity and a little pleasant pepperiness in the finish. A really lively mouthful of fruity goodness. 88. Imported by Jorge Ordoñez. Was $5.19 at Spec's, and is also currently on sale at Whole Foods on Bellaire for $5.99.

I too am a fan of the wines under $10 quest. I came across this wine a few years back at the Fiesta at Alabama and Dunlavy. I trust that you have explored their wine dept, they often have good clearance deals.
