Grapes Garnacha, Syrah
Overview Once again, Spain proves itself as
one of the great sources of value
wine. This one is made of Garnacha
and Syrah—a combination most
familiar in the wines of the Rhône.
Big, fruity, and spicy, Almira won’t
win any awards for subtlety, but it’s
no less delicious for that.
Nose Pepper, red fruit, and a slight
vegetal quality make up a bold,
powerful nose.
Mouth It could stand to be a bit
more in balance, but if you’re craving
lots of fruit, it will do just fine.
