BEROLA Bodegas Borsao Campo de Borja Spain [91 pts Stephen Tanzer] Varietal(s): Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Tasting Notes:
Dark purple. Sexy aromas of blackberry, mulberry and violet, plus a strong note of incense. Deeply pitched dark fruit preserve flavors are given an exotic character by notes of candied flowers and star anise. Supple and expansive on the finish, lingerings with impressive tenacity and length. Perfect as a hearty, everyday red, Berola is ideal for the upcoming Super Bowl parties that will have everything from chips to ribs.

Berola, Grenache Blend Rich Texture, Nuanced Fruit, Super Bowl Bound
— LIMITED QUANTITIES —
($15.95 per bottle / $191.40 per case) One of our best litmus tests for a great value wine is not its price, but how often customers return to repurchase it. A recent addition to the store is rapidly becoming our most popular sub-twenty dollar red, and for good reason. The winery uses four year old barrels from famed winery, Alto Moncayo. Only the best Grenache grapes are selected for these barrels yielding a rich wine that punches well above its weight class. The wine boasts flavors and spice that cannot be replicated at this price.
A unique blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, Berola reveals a kaleidoscope of dark fruit with amazing purity and a long finish that can stand up to your favorite cheeses, spicy dishes or grilled meats. In fact, this everyday red is perfect for the upcoming Super Bowl parties that will have an array of food flavors from chips to ribs.
Giving the wine 91 points, Stephen Tanzer explains: "Sexy aromas of blackberry, mulberry and violet, plus a strong note of incense. Deeply pitched dark fruit preserve flavors are given an exotic character by notes of candied flowers and star anise. Supple and expansive on the finish, lingerings with impressive tenacity and length."
Enjoy now and over the next 3 years, this hearty Spanish red is one of the best value Grenache blends we've tasted in quite some time. Order Here ».
