點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：9264

Of the three Guelbenzu submissions, the 2009 Vierlas was my favorite. A blend of 40% Syrah with the balance Tempranillo, Merlot, and Garnacha, it was aged for several months in new French oak. Aromas of smoked meat, game, and blueberry inform the nose of this pleasure-bent, forward, tasty effort. It is also an excellent value meant for drinking over the next 2-3 years.

Red values under $25. Recommended and tasted, but no tasting note given.

This firm red offers plum and coffee flavors, with dried herbs and licorice notes. A bit austere, but balanced. Syrah, Tempranillo, Merlot and others. Drink now through 2011. 10,800 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Queiles Select to Add
