Red Guitar

Name: Red Guitar
Color: Red
Varietal: Blend (Tempranillo/Garnacha)
Vintage: 2007
Country/State: Spain
Region: Navarra
Price: $10
Stars: 4 (out of 5)


We've had this wine a few times and always enjoy it. This was our first bottle of the 2007 vintage, and while it was very good, I remember liking the 2006 a little bit more. The '07 Red Guitar is a blend of 55% Tempranillo and 45% Garnacha.

I had a couple of glasses tonight, one with pizza and one later on its own. The flavors are primarily cherry and raspberry, with a medium bodied feel in the mouth. It's a very smooth wine that may be able to be aged for 2-3 years. I might try to pick up a bottle and put it aside for a couple of years to find out how well it ages.
