•Shop/wine critic/winery review: 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 blackraspberry and boysenberry flavors. Smooth and broad on the finish, leaving behind a hint of spiciness. Extremely easy to drink and an excellent value.
•Your review: This wine was deep red in color. It had a slight sweet smell with hints of light butter. It had an oaky, mossy flavor. There was nothing great or awful about this wine - I gave it two stars.
•Did not consume with food
