The 2007 Graciano (50%) – Garnacha (50%) went through malolactic in barrel followed by 4 months of aging in seasoned French oak. Cedar, smoke, violets, spice and floral notes compose the bouquet of this vibrant, racy effort, the lift provided by the Graciano component. Balanced, medium-bodied, and moderately lengthy, it is a good value meant for drinking over the next 6-8 years. Importer: Tom George, Frontier Wine Imports, Dover, NJ; Tel. (973) 328-4500

Layers of spice and fresh cherry drive this bright, light- to medium-bodied red. There's lively acidity, with a touch of cigar box on the modest finish. Drink now through 2011. 5,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Spain / Navarra Select to Add
