A Wine Made With PRECISION

WHAT IS A CABRIOLA?

A cabriola is a precision jump that takes years of practice and connection between a rider and a horse. Much like the connection between a winemaker and his or her vineyards and grapes.

BODEGAS BORSAO CAMPO DE BORJA, Spain

HIGH UP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ZARAGOZA SPAIN IS BODEGAS BORSAO. LOADS OF OLD VINE FRUIT WITH LOTS OF LIMESTONE AND CLAY WHICH PROVIDES GREAT DRAINAGE

GRENACHE/GARNACHA IS KING

OLD VINE GARNACHA IS THE BASE OF THE WINES AT BORSAO. THIS PROVIDES THE FRAME OF BIG FRUITS , BIG COLOR AND INTENSE FLAVORS. THE CANRIOLA IS 59% GARNACHA 39% SYRAH AND 6% MAZEULO (Carignan in France ) 12 MONTHS IN FRENCH AND AMERICAN OAK PROVIDE THE THE SOFT RICH TEXTURE. LET’S REVIEW

MY REVIEW

15.5% ABV but no heat. Just a plush MOUTH FULL OF KIRSCH, BLACKBERRY LIQUEUR AND HINTS OF FRESHLY GROUND BLACK PEPPER. HINTS OF DARK CHOCOLATE ON THE BACK END MAKE THIS A KILLER QUALITY TO PRICE RATIO WINE PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT SPAIN IS DOMINATING THE WINE SCENE FOR AFFORDABLE HIGH QUALITY WINES. I WILL GO 92 points out of 100 and a definIte bUy for This red blend. Try it with beef charcuterie

GRAPE-FULLY YOURS,
