Winemaker's notes: 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: Did not like this one. I could smell cherries and that was about it. Tasted a little bit of the berries but was not sweet at all. It also did have that spice taste at the end. I think I am not ready for this wine. Would not drink this again.

I had this on its own without food.
