Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Made from a blend of 55% trempranillo and 45% garnacha grapes. A full-bodied wine that has delicious notes of chocolate and ripe dark red fruit. Food matches: grilled beef, B.B.Q., burgers, pizza, ham.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Drink Wine and Giggle Gals rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

The Drink Wine and Giggle Gals love the passion and flair of flamenco. Like flamenco, Red Guitar is a twirl of fruit and spice aroma that soon gets the taste buds clapping. In 2010 UNESCO declared flamenco one of the "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". We wouldn't go that far with Red Guitar, but it's definitely worth a pick.
