Review: "These Garnacha vines are now eighty-five years of age, as this vineyard was purchased back in 1923 by Dr. Vincente Alvarez-Villamil. There was a long period where no wine was produced by his family from this parcel at the base of the Sierra de Gredos Mountains, but in 2006, two of his grandchildren restarted the Bernabeleva winery. As I have noted before, the high elevation here provided excellent diurnal temperature swings and the wine is aged only in older casks, so it is impressively light on its feet and zest. The 2018 Navaherreros Garnacha comes in listed at 14.5 percent octane and offers up a beautifully transparent nose of raspberries, cherries, dried eucalyptus, smoked meats, a lovely base of stony soil, beautiful, delicate spice tones and some discreetly savory elements in the upper register. On the palate the wine is refined, full-bodied and soil-driven, with a lovely core, good focus and grip, moderate tannins and a long, vibrant and complex finish. This is just beautiful Garnacha! Give it a few more years’ worth of bottle age just to let it soften up more fully on the backend."
