Bodegas Bastida, Cimal Garnacha, 2021

After a few years in the wine trade, you pick up a few hacks for getting incredible wine at low prices.

One surefire way it going Spanish or Portuguese wine.

I don't know why, but people seem to associate wines from these regions as being cheap.

So, no matter how incredible the wine is, producers from these countries are terrified pricing their wines at a premium.

But they shouldn't be! Spanish Garnacha from La Mancha is so ridiculously good. Smoky, spicy, cherry...y.

There's a reason why James Suckling keeps coming back to this estate year after year, and never dips below 90.
