Naked Wine Review 151
Wine: Honoro Vera Garnacha
Producer: Bodegas Ateca
Vintage: 12'
Region: Spain>Calatayud
Price: 9.00
Date tasted: 9/7/14
Place tasted: Saturated in full moon madness I was sitting in a bar with Ganesha drinking garnasha and eating ganache. All I could think was 'oh shit, if one side doesn't get me, the other one will'. Guilt, sex, wine, chocolate cake, yoga, Metatron, Ganesha, the faeries, pineapple express, obsessive self discipline... where does this recipe end, and what kind of image does it bake up to be? I mean, can you even comprehend a chocolate covered organic magic carrot salad? Well, maybe YOU can.
Then Ganesha said to me, "Image is nothing more than an obstacle that blocks truth". That's all he said... well that and that he was going to go bathe in the river tomorrow.
Good talk.
Served with: Nanaimo Bars... and why not? It's a great combo, trust me.
It would also go well with grilled meats, venison, lamb roast, herby pasta or vegetable dishes and strong cheeses.
Appearance: Sparkling clear ruby red with a violet aura.
On the snoot: A strong sweet bouquet of wild flowers, cherry cotton candy, and pine cones.
Taste: Sweet dark cherry lovingly stroked by mulling spices and fresh cracked pepper give a welcoming naked embrace while a deeper consciousness of her beauty blossoms in a incandescent glow of fresh rain and oak until you are so full with delicious wine flavor you could just burst. Then she brings the experience in for a landing on a lingering mellow fruit runway brushed with dusty tannins and cocoa.
Now go ahead and blush, enjoy the afterglow, and repeat the experience.
Balance: She paints her color, thick and pretty all over the insides of your glass while allowing the weight of her long luscious legs to run slowly through it. Her subtle sugars, nice acid content, high yet smooth alcohol level, and fine feather dusty tannins complete a perfectly balanced and beautiful wine.
Comments: She's a mouthful of pure splendor. I plan on keeping this one around for a while. I may even put a bottle in my Teotwawki bug out bag.
