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 Thoughts: A very fruity nose, raspberry, blackberry, hint of earthy or more leathery notes as well. Mild fruity flavors at the front, fading into a dry finish with hints of spice. Fairly easy to drink, but I didn't get a lot out of this one.
