The 2006 G3 from Terra Alta is purple-colored with a fragrant perfume that jumps from the glass. Black cherry, black raspberry, and blackberry liqueur notes are prominent aromatically and on the palate. The wine has excellent depth and concentration. This is an excellent value to drink over the next three years. Vinos Sin-Ley’s G Series is designed to showcase the Garnacha grape as expressed in 6 different D.O.s. The wines are all raised in stainless steel to present the fruit in its purest form.

The 2005 G3 comes from Terra Alta, a little further south than the first two wines, with a warmer climate. It offers additional ripeness and fatter, sweeter flavors. 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.Importer: Patrick Mata, Ole Imports, New Rochelle, NY; tel. (914) 576-6120
