2018 Bodegas Paniza Co-op Sotavento Garnacha, Spain, Carinena, Wine Review
Sotavento is a private label bottling from this cooperative in Spain. It is made from Garnacha (Grenache). Garnet in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is tight. With air, black cherries and dust come out. Medium bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, black cherries and spice. Moderate finish. This needs some time, but it remains to be seen if the fruit outlasts the tannins. Probably better with some food. Stews would work well. Drink over the next five years.
