Valcantara 2006 Old Vine Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- $10
Ruby in color, with jammy blueberry aromas that carry along some chocolate and wintergreen. It’s a bit jagged and forward in the mouth, but the flavors of plum and raspberry are tasty and pure. With no glaring flaws, a pretty tint and solid structure, this is about all we can ask for from a $10 Garnacha from Spain.

Valcantara 2008 Old Vine Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Nice black cherry, cracked pepper and a slight wave of perfume make the nose attractive, while the palate is bright and a touch sharp with red-fruit flavors. Cherry, red plum and gentle spice notes work the finish, and overall the wine seems honest and well made.

Valcantara 2004 Old Vine Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- $8
Slightly prickly and green, but overall it’s a decent, mildly herbal Garnacha that will do the trick. Basic red-fruit flavors carry a note of tomato and leather, while the finish is generally tight and crisp.
