Borsao 2020 Garnacha Selección 375 mL
Spanish Red
$12.99
Cherry red with violet highlights, opening on ripe fruit, floral tones and an earthy black-raspberry note. A peppery accent adds lift before the palate broadens into a full, spicy frame. The fruit remains generous and direct, with enough savoury character to keep the wine grounded. It closes with dark raspberry, pepper and spice through a complex, lingering aftertaste.
