WTN: Budget (or should I say QPR) Garnacha

[David M. Bueker]

2009 Viñedos Bernabeleva Vinos de Madrid Camino de Navaherreros
Fresh fruit with good, balanced acidity. This is refreshing, and particularly easy to drink. Being realitively cheap ($12) is another plus.

This seems to have been a closeout sale - this wine is $12 in Spain, but normally $20-24 in the US (yes, overpriced at that level). There are quite a few good, not overdone, budget grenache wines from Spain now available in various parts of the US, including Estecillo ($10) and Tres Ojos ($7) from Calatayud, Borsao ($6) from Campo de Borja, Artazuri ($10) from Navarra. It seems other good Madrid grenaches like Grego Garnacha Centenaria haven't found any importers.

Maybe a closeout by a distributor? Closeouts are hard to come by in Mass due to restrictions on pricing below wholesale.

For what its worth you can find this online in several places for $12-14.

Who is the importer?
