Happy International Grenache Day!

It's the third Friday in September and you know what that means!

International Grenache Day.

Lets make it a weekend of it so post away!

Local winebar has the `09 Bodegas y Vinedos del Jalon Claraval Calatayud on the list so popped in after camera club meeting.

Dark garnet color, blackberry, smoke, tobacco, cherry on the nose.
Nice plum flavors with cherry typical pepper, some tannins, medium bodied. Some sweetness with assorted tapas, raspberry too. No heat here, did not check alc. Nice glass, in fact 2!!

Sounds good for you, although I must admit this is one holiday I won't be celebrating. I can't remember the last time I drank a grenache.

You NC boys do not know what you are missing!
