The 2009 Atlas Vinas is an exciting wine laced with dark fruit, scorched earth, licorice, leather and tobacco. The aromas and flavors come through with tons of intensity and pedigree in this full-bodied, brooding wine. There is considerable depth and richness in the glass, but readers will have to be a bit patient here. Atlas Vinas is 42% Grenache, 29% Mourvedre and 29% Syrah. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
