The 2007 Terral is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, and Merlot aged for 14 months in oak. It offers up a similar aromatic and flavor profile to the Santa Creu de Creixa cuvee but with slightly greater depth and concentration. It is also a solid value meant for drinking over the next 4 years. Sumarroca produces both still and sparkling wines in the DO of Penedes (and Cava). Two other Cava entries were reviewed in the previous issue in my Focus on Catalunya report. Importer: Peter Deutsch, Spain Wine Collection, Congers, NY; Tel. (631) 833-6102; the Cavas are also imported by Tom George, Frontier Wines, Dover, NJ

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