The wine has concentrated berry flavours and a touch of spicyness. Serve with hearty meat dishes, game and cheeses." The ancient/low yield leads me to believe it must be 100% I have another bottle here and couldn’t find explicit proof but per the importer:

Was it a blend or was it 100%? Even if it isn't memorable, I think it's a definite bargain for that type of grape. I personally really dig the Fuego Garnacha ($7.99, I think) that you can buy at Whole Foods or World Market.
