This family-owned winery has consistently produced top-notch efforts, some of which are attractive values. For example, the 2004 La Planella, a blend of Carignan, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvedre, and Syrah, possesses a dark ruby/purple color in addition to a sweet nose of black fruits intermixed with crushed rocks and lavender. Medium-bodied and elegant, it is best drunk over the next 2-4 years.
