Barahonda Carro Tinto 2014-Spanish Red Blend, 90/100 AND ONLY $12.95!!!



Carro, made by Bodegas Señorío de Barahonda in the DO of Yecla, is a perfect example of how

Spain offers the best wine values in the world! The wine is made with grapes from vines that were

planted in 1977 and are tended in limestone soil which receives a mere 8-10 inches of rainfall each

year. The state-of-the-art winery is a perfect "kitchen" to transmit this unique terroir. Carro is

100% un-oaked made with organically grown grapes. With a wine making heritage that dates back

to 1925, the Candela family owns about 340 hectares (840 acres) of vineyards. Yecla is one of only

a few wine regions in Spain(Sout East Spain near the MED) that has remained unaffected by phylloxera. Carro's richness, depth

and profound earthy flavors will transport you to the arid, rugged and tranquil terrain of Yecla.



WHAT MAKES THIS WINE UNIQUE: 

The winery has used estate-owned grapes since 1925. The wine is organically

grown and the grapes are from 35-year-old vines. Carro is a 100% un-oaked wine, made using a Rhone-like blend of

grape varieties. The amount of care and the quality of the grapes that go into Carro are the same used to make more

expensive cuvées. This great value offers high quality for price.



 

GRAPE: 

50% Monastrell (Cousin grape to cab-Bordeaux style), 20% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 10% Tempranillo. 


PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: 

This simple, unpretentious, easy-to-drink and juicy red will pair well with most any flavorful,

casual dishes—summer or otherwise—you're likely to see it on the backyard deck , at the beach, or at a picnic. Grilled

cheddar burgers with bacon or BBQ brisket are perfect. Try with Monica's Grilled Chicken with Red & Yellow peppers, served on a 

Monica's soon to be famous Jasmine Rice . 




TASTING NOTES FROM ROBERT PARKER*(see below)

Carro is a ridiculous value in a full-bodied, complex, rich and savory dry red wine. Dense ruby/purple with notes of blackberry and blueberry fruit, licorice and camphor, the wine is totally un oaked and naked. This is a beauty of purity and richness and just goes to show what one can buy if careful with researching importers. Drink it over the next several years.

The 2014 Carro is a ridiculous value in a full-bodied, complex, rich and savory dry red wine. Dense ruby/purple with notes of blackberry and blueberry fruit, licorice and camphor, the wine is totally unoaked and naked. This is a beauty of purity and richness and just goes to show what one can buy if careful with researching importers. Drink it over the next several years.

These six remarkable wines are from proprietor and winemaker Antonio Candela, who runs this estate in the backwater appellation of Yecla, sandwiched in Southeastern Spain between Alicante on the coast and neighboring Jumilla further inland. All of these are beautifully crafted and just fabulous values!
CARROs are the carts used to carry the grapes by hand, this poem is in the front of each bottle (in Spanish, of course!)
 
Avanza ligera en cada surco,                   Advancing light in each groove,slight

La carga es pesada, pero es un                a triumph, a conquest. At every
triunfo, una conquista.A cada                 step the vintage flourishes....
paso la vendimia prospera....                 every moment, the wine comes alive....
a cada instante, el vino va tomando vida....
