I don’t know how many times you can say these Elefante wines offer good value, but they do. If I was looking for a wine, red or white, between ten and fifteen dollars they would be high on my list of options.
The Grenache is sweeter than the Tempranillo and the Tempranillo Shiraz. Red and dark cherries. Smoked almonds, licorice and a suggestion of Chinotto. A bit of black spice and a dusting of cinnamon. Nimble acidity and a rasp of tannin. Can’t see anyone complaining about this. 88
