The 2004 Roquers de Porrera is 40% Garnacha, 40% Carinena, 7% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Syrah aged for 16 months in used French oak. Inky purple, the wine offers up complex aromas of crushed stone, lead pencil, black cherry, and black currant. On the palate, the wine is forward with layers of tangy black fruits, a plush texture, ripe sweet fruit, well-concealed tannins, and a long finish. Drink this splendid effort over the next 10-12 years. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
