The 2005 Zestos Especial is 85% Tempranillo and 15% Syrah raised in stainless steel. It has a more expansive bouquet, darker fruit, and is richer and fatter on the palate. It, too, is meant for near-term consumption.
The name Vinos Sin-Ley means “wines without laws.” According to importer Patrick Mata, these cuvees are produced by an array of serious winemakers who wish to have their own personal projects apart from those of their employers and to not be bound by the various D.O. regulations. The G Series wines are composed of 100% Garnacha while the new M Series wines are 100% Monastrell. The Zestos wines are blends. They are reviewed in the order they were presented. All of the recommended wines are excellent values.
