Winery Review: The 100% Garnacha 2016 Figaro Tinto Calatayud is a smoking value and is another red brought in by Kysela that knocks it out of the park on the value scale. Bright berry fruits, dried herbs, earth, and a touch of spice all flow to a medium-bodied, rounded, fleshy red that has loads of upfront charm and accessibility. It's not going to make old bones, but as a house red to enjoy over the coming couple of years, it's hard to beat. - Jeb Dunnuck, 90 pts
My Review: Cherry, raspberry and plum were evident with a slight smokiness/spicy/pepper-y flavor. The after taste was a little overwhelming and tannic, but it went away after about 4-5 seconds. Not a bad Garnacha.
With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
