Las Rocas Garnacha 2007; Catalunya, Espana

This is a a very unique wine. The scent is like black pepper, and that carries over right into it's taste. Really. I get so much black pepper, it almost overshadows everything else. There is definitely an earthy component, and some black fruits on the latter part of the palate. Overall, I don't like the light body, but it's flavors fly in the face of that body. The finish is ok, but not great; again, too much pepper! An interesting wine, but not my favorite.
