alicante / grenache wine
I agree - this should be a fairly light, fruity wine that is ready to
drink early, and won't improve a lot over time. Grenache contributes
the fruitiness, but has little color or tannin. Alicante contributes
a lot of color, but doesn't have a real distinctive flavor of its
own. Neither has the level of tannin or acidity that support long-
term aging, so you might as well enjoy this wine when it tastes ready
to drink.
