Last Updated on January 25, 2023

Good enough, the La Granja Red Blend Tempranillo-Garnacha from Trader Joe’s.

La Granja Tempranillo Garnacha Red Blend - Totally Fine for $5.99

60% Tempranillo and 40% Garnacha from Carinena, Spain. The wine is vegan friendly.

The La Granja Red Blend is available exclusively at Trader Joe’s and sells for just $5.99. It is imported by Evaki, Inc.

From the bottle:

A magic place in the South where the sun never sets, where it’s always summer and exquisite aromas of ever-found fruits and flowers fill the shiny rooms of a magic farm. Welcome to La Granja 360!

Vegan friendly wine.
Bouquet of dark and ripe fruits with toasted notes of caramel and cocoa.

14.5% Alcohol

The 2019 La Granja Red Blend Tempranillo Garnacha begins with lots of tart berry fruit on the nose.

The wine tastes smooth and uncomplicated. Not overly sweet, it features a touch of spice on the mid-palate. Given the super low price, it works.

Notes of cola and licorice lead into the dry, medium length finish. It won’t blow you away but it is easy to drink and enjoyable which makes it a good pick for the low price.

And while this is one is totally fine at a price of $5.99, we’ve found the other La Granja wines to be a bit hit or miss. We also like the La Granja Verdejo, but we were not; however, fans of the Hi-C fruit punch from the can La Granja Rosé or the $4.99 La Granja Tempranillo. In the case of the latter, it’s definitely worth the extra dollar to move up to this blend instead.
