The 2009 Roig Parals is a blend of Samso, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot that was briefly exposed to barrel. It gives up aromas of lightly roasted black fruits, fresh herbs (sage and thyme), and violets leading to a concentrated, plush wine with good volume and a medium-long finish. It is likely to evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now and over the next 6 years. Importer: 31 Degrees South; www.31degreessouth.com
