Tres Picos is not supposed to be oaked. I know that it tastes like it, but
the winery does not declare it (or, at least, they did not the last time I
looked for it).

In Spain they also sell a Tres Picos Tempranillo, but I do not like it as
much as I like the Tres Picos Grenache.

Believe it or not, they sell a wine called "Borsao Garnacha Mítica" that
sells in a national chains of supermarkets called "Mercadona", for the
amount of 1,30 euros. That is about $2. And is a nice wine.

Best,
