Borsao Tinto, Granache/Tempranillo, Borja, Spain, 2007, $8.49
but it here
My first reaction to this blend out of Spain was simply wow. It has an ultra fragrant nose, filled with spicy aromas of freshly cracked black pepper and clove, dried figs, warm oak, and just a hint of black olives. Add to that its beefy legs, and deep magenta hue, I couldn’t get the glass to my mouth fast enough. And oh what a mouthful…dried cherries, cassis, and oak dominate the palate. Its got a pleasant bite to it, and notes of cinnamon and dark cocoa that sweep you away to its bone dry charred oak finish. Pair it with a creamy swiss for a mid day snack, or grilled spicy sausage and peppers for someting a little more substantial.

Nice review. The Borsao Tinto” is not a bad wine for under $10. I buy one once in a while
for an evening of wine and cheese, which usually means I am filling up on Xtra-sharp and
slices of pepperoni. Haven’t thought about sausage and peppers, will have to try.
