Tonight we are tasting the 2018 Buena Pinta, Moravia Agria from the La Mancha region in Spain. This is a blend of the dark-colored Moravia and Garnacha. Here is a little fun fact. The word Agria means bitter. See how I upgrade you every week, lol.
This wine boasts a beautiful dark ruby hue and is full of cola, cherries, herbs, and coffee on the nose. You don't get to the Agria part until you taste it. It is a full-bodied wine with a nice long rustic finish. Although the tannins are on the medium side, the acidity is reaching some new heights.
At $14.99, this is an excellent value wine and 12% alcohol is a sweet spot to be in as to not overpower the character of the wine.
