Franck Massard, El Mago Organic Garnacha, 2023 Ontario An absolute stunner from thisThis is dangerously easy to drink. It smells and tastes like strawberries, with the merest suggestion of spice, and it's extraordinarily soft textured, with such gentle tannins that they almost go unnoticed. However, thanks to the high altitude vineyards, there is nice, crisp acidity that keeps everything fresh. On the finish, the strawberry fruit gives way to an intriguing hint of blood oranges and blanched almonds.
