This spotlight wine is actually 2 wines… a 2006 and 2007.  This vintner (Bodegas Borsao) has proven, to me at least, remarkable consistency and excellence in a bargain wine.

The 2007 just like the 2006 that preceded it are a blend of 75% Garnacha (Grenache) and 25% Tempranillo.  Both offer nice aromas of leather and blackberry. There are interesting tastes of dark sweet cherries, currants, and raisins with a slight hint of strawberry, clove and a touch of oakiness.  It is a true fruity wine, just how I like them!  The body is nice and the wine is smooth.

This wine offers wonderful flavors and value!

Lastly, it is worth noting that both wines over-night well, if they are vacuum sealed.  I truly recommend those little seal pumps!

Today I was the recipient of a very informative email highlighting a number of pointers to good quality, inexpensive wines. The base article may be found at:

Although we can hardly be classified as wine connoisseurs, we do like wine! We, also, do not think it is essential to spend a fortune on good wines. And so… we are on the eternal search for the perfect bargain wine(s)!

It is our intention to provide insights into the excellent wines we find. If you have some that you’d like us to review and recommend to our readership, well, who are we to turn those away!?!

We hope you enjoy the site.
