Vinnico offers two excellent Yecla values noted in the Best Buy chart at the end of this report. The 2004 Trenza Family Collection, from the emerging D.O. of Yecla, is composed of 48% Monastrell, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon,16% Syrah, and 4% Grenache. Deep crimson-colored, it offers an expressive bouquet of wood smoke, pencil lead, violets, black cherry, and blueberry. This leads to a full-bodied wine with layers of ripe fruit, excellent depth and concentration, and a lengthy finish. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 6-8 years.
