This Grenache-based wine includes 10% Tempranillo, 4% Malbec and 2% Syrah in the sophisticated blend. Recently bottled, it’s still tight, tannic, and hiding much of its fruit. The aromas give an indication of what’s to come—cranberry fruit and lemony acidity, with some firm tannins. ——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 87

This sharp, acidic Garnacha is the latest expansion of Abacela’s Iberian explorations. Grapey and young, with strawberry fruit and a lick of anise, it’s still quite tight and should improve with additional bottle age.——P.G.(12/15/2009)—— 87
