2005 Bodegas Ayles Garnacha Carinena
($11) Ruby-red. Smoky raspberry and wild strawberry on the nose, with deeper herb and underbrush accents. Tart red berry flavors show a minty, succulent character and are enlivened by brisk minerality. Fresh and nervy on the finish, which features strong red fruit and floral pastille flavors. Will buyers at this price point appreciate this bracing style? (Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA)
