Garciarevalo 2005 Casamaro Tinto Rueda
$ 9.49Responding to the market’s demand for great wines at value prices, here is an excellent value red wine that has never seen a day in oak. The gutsy 2005 Casamaro Tinto (100% Tempranillo) possesses a dark ruby/purple color as well as notes of pepper, spice, earth, and sweet cherry fruit. The tannins are elegant in this personality-filled, bistro-styled red. There seems to be an identity crisis at many modern Spanish wineries. Character and distinctiveness are being sacrificed for slickness and precious critical accolades. Casamaro Tinto is the antithesis—instead of a heavy, boorish international style, this Rueda wine. It’s a red to serve a little chilled with a young chèvre covered in rosemary. About Garciarevalo: In the heart of Rueda is the family-owned winery of Garciarevalo. If you visit their vineyards you may notice something odd about the ground; the sandy soils scattered with the occasional ancient seashell might make you forget that these vineyards are located in central Spain, at an elevation of 900 meters. These sandy soils provided a natural protection from phylloxera when the pest spread across the region about 100 years ago. Ranging from 100 to 145 years old, many of those vines still grow today.
