Rice Bread aka Panarroz: A great Jumilla at an even better price!

For a couple of years now one of my go to Spanish reds has been the Panarroz Jumilla. The 2006 vintage for me is no exception and brought back all the good thoughts of why I like this wine. Big and bold but still with some balance. You can often find this wine in the $7 to $9 dollar range and for me is worth every penny. Jumilla is a wine region in Southern Spain and is not the type of grapes used. That said the 2006 Panarroz Jumilla consists of Mourvedre, Grenache and Shiraz. For those of you that like California Syrahs or Zinfandels (especially the bigger, slightly spicy ones) should definitely check out this effort from Panarroz. Even after it was open for two days (with a foodsaver vacuum cork), the wine was still very nice....nice.
