2003 Bodegas Artazu ‘Artazuri’
- Share via
This 100% Grenache from the Navarra region of Spain is another astonishing find from importer Eric Solomon. Inky and concentrated, it’s a Grenache that holds something back. More than just another pretty wine, it tastes like dark plums and berries, yet it’s perfectly dry and has more depth than you have any right to expect in a seemingly simple country wine for under $10.
Wow.
Great with just about anything -- roast chicken, grilled meats, anything you throw on the barbecue.
