The 2009 Garnacha Blanca is made up of 85% White Garnacha and 15% Macabeo aged for 8 months in French oak. The aromatics are slightly reticent but reveal notes of lemon and other citrus, spring flowers, and mineral. On the palate it displays a firm acid structure, layered flavors, and excellent balance. If the nose blossoms over the next 1-2 years, a good possibility, it will merit an outstanding rating. Importer: T. Edward Wines, New York, NY; www.tedwardwines.com
