2000 Etim Selection Old Vines Grenache, Tarragona-Falset ($12). This aggressive Spanish red wine is not for the faint of palate, but consumers who appreciate bold flavors will adore it. This friendly monster is loaded with black-currant, black-cherry, bacon and spice flavors - and what it lacks in subtlety it more than makes up for in length. One caveat: It could overwhelm delicately seasoned food. Try it with something along the lines of blackened steak or barbecue chicken.
