Wine Recommendation
Bodegas Borsao
Campo de Borja, Spain
Borsao Crianza Seleccion 2006
Price: About $17
The wine revolution in Spain continues its quiet but steady progress, as evidenced in Borsao Crianza Seleccion 2006, which is made from Granache, Tempranillo, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The consequence of this non-traditional blend is a wine with seductive dark fruit aromas that lead to generous, well- balanced flavors of black cherry, currant, and plum complicated by notes of spice and vanilla-oak that are complemented by a firm texture and which lead to a lingering finish. This wine would go especially well with most Mediterranean cuisine, though it would also match up nicely with meals featuring beef or game.
