2008  Terra de Verema Triumvirat
Priorat9
The 2008 Terra de Verema Triumvirat is made by Ester Nin, vineyard manager of Clos Erasmus. It is a blend of 90% Carinena, 5% Garnacha, and 5% Syrah aged for 12 months in French oak. Dark ruby-colored with an already complex bouquet of pepper, Asian spices, mineral, and black cherry, on the palate it is supple, suave bordering on opulent, succulent, and very long. It can be approached now but will be more expressive with another 2-3 years of bottle age.
94 POINTS, ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE

2009 Alto Moncayo Veraton
Campo de Borja
100% Garnacha. Inky purple. A heady bouquet evokes ripe red berries, anise, mocha and pungent fresh flowers. Supple and sweet on entry, then more structured in the middle, offering deep, mineral-accented dried strawberry and cherry liqueur flavors. Takes a spicy turn on the long, sappy finish, which echoes the pure red berry qualities. 500 cases produced.

2004 Paternina Gran Reserva
Rioja
Delicately toasty with inviting fig, spice and leather notes and smooth tannins. True Gran Reserva style.  Serve with roasted meats, venison.  A blend of Tempranillo and Mazuelo.

Cost: $19
