Tasting - "Las Rocas Garnacha"

Name: Las Rocas Garnacha
Variety: Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $13.49

Winery review: "Our Garnacha offers a taste as uniquely intriguing as its origin, with exotic dark cherry and blackberry flavors.  This wine is well-structured with round tannins and subtle hints of oak."

My review: Sweet cherry nose, possible hints of plum.  Surprisingly dry and tart when it hits the tongue with a very oaky finish.  Had with havarti cheese which softened some of the oakiness of the wine, which made it more palatable for me.
