The 2006 Gemina Seleccion is opaque purple-colored with a brooding, reticent nose of mineral, espresso, and blueberry. A bit chunky and rustic on the palate, this savory effort will evolve for 1-2 years and drink well through 2018. Importer: American Estates Wines, Summit, NJ; tel. (908) 273-5060

Dark ruby-colored, it reveals floral aromas along with mineral, blueberry, and black cherry. Full-bodied, ripe, and layered on the palate, this well-balanced wine has 2-3 years of aging potential. Drink it from 2011 to 2017. Importer: American Estate Wines, Summit, NJ; tel. (908) 273-5060

The 2004 Gemina Seleccion offers aromas of smoke, toast, blueberry, and black cherry. With a bit more structure than its younger peer, this forward wine has some silky tannin, layers of flavor, excellent balance, good depth, and a pure finish. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 5-7 years. Importer: George Galey, American Estates Wines, Summit, NJ; tel. (908) 273-5060
