Torres has been working on this blend of Xarello and Garnacha Blanca for a few years, and they seem to be on the right track. This vintage trumpets gardenia and incense-like aromas along with a Viognier-like palate of apricot, kumquat and honey blossom. It’s a bigger-sized wine, but a balanced one. Still, it might be a touch sweet and banana-ish for some.——M.S.(6/1/2008)—— 88

A mix of Xarello and white Garnacha that smells nice as well as different, with aromas of cake frosting, litchi fruit and applesauce. Ripe and sweet, with a round, medium-weight palate. A bit fat and lacking in structure, but that’s the nature of Xarello.——M.S.(12/31/2004)—— 85
