The 2012 Atrium is a fruit-driven, pure, clean Merlot with some vinous flavors mixed with ripe black fruit and licorice aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, with a sleek texture, quite gulpable, ideal for a barbecue. Drink now. If there is a name that needs no introduction from the Spanish wine scene, it is Torres. They produce wines from different appellations (and countries!) but Penedes is their home. Their wines are always reliable and a safe option in restaurants.
