critic/Winery Review: Figaro is 100% Garnacha, made from a selection of the
best grapes grown in the oldest vineyards. While not truly an “oaked wine”, a
short stay in oak barrels provides a nice spicy flavor boost. Bright violet.
Dark berry and cherry aromas show a jammy aspect. Supple and gently sweet, with
good lift to its black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. Smooth and broad on
the finish, leaving behind a hint of spiciness. Extremely easy to drink and an
excellent value
My Review: The
smell of this wine had hints of dark cherry to it. It went along with the color of it, a nice
deep red color. For some reason, at the
end of the sniff, I kept getting hints of something sweet. I couldn’t put my nose on it but I think it
was the jam aspect of the wine. The
taste had a hint of spice to it with some oak showing through on the
mid-pallet. The spice on it was more of
a biting not enjoyable spice so was not too much of a fan of it. It was another ok wine for the price.
