An innovative blend of Tempranillo and Graciano, the 2001 (the first blend of these grapes I have tasted from the New World) boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with a big, smoky, sweet, briery, berry perfume reminiscent of a top-flight Zinfandel. Ripe and medium-bodied, with good density, purity, and overall harmony, it will offer pleasure over the next 4-5 years.Importer: Ken Onish & John Gorman, Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel.
