2013 Garnacha de Fuego, Aragon (Spain)

Tried a bottle of this on the recommendation of the salesperson at Total Wine ($10), and went back for a case (with case discount $9).  Garnacha/grenache is such a great grape, can be light and Gamay or Pinot Noir-ish, or bold and sexy like this one.  It's the most widely planted grape.  Nice dark plum jam, a bit of minerality, smooth finish.  Well worth looking for this one!

We had it with a bowl of spicy andouille and gulf shrimp gumbo.
