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 wine had a pretty dark color to it, almost a violet color. Again, this wine also had a very fruity smell to it, specifically strong aromas of cherries. It had a really nice taste to it that I enjoyed so much I purchased a bottle. It was very smooth and I could definitely taste some spices and oak flavors.
I did not have with food.
