Wine Shop 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 Review: Light ruby red color, just barely opaque. This wine gave off sweet berries smells and tastes of jammy blackberries with a slight spiciness toward the finish. I enjoyed this wine I was surprised of how oaky it was with the review stating how short the wine was in barrels, but it was still a good wine overall.
I tasted this wine without food.
