Description:
The 2005 Atteca Armas is sourced from a single Garnacha vineyard planted in 1909 at serious elevation. Malolactic fermentation occurs in new oak. The nose delivers spice box, toast, scorched earth, and black cherry. Large-scaled and full-flavored, this powerful effort conceals enough structure to support 3- 5 years of cellaring and should provide pleasure through 2025.

Description:
A full, rounded nose of honeyed spice and citrus gives this wine a sexy vibe from the start, and on the palate, curvy floral notes mingle perfectly with minerals and lively acid.

Description:
Cantele's 2003 Salice Salentino Riserva is a plump, juicy, super-ripe red that offers terrific value for the money. A blend of 85% Negroamaro and 15% Malvasia, it spent 6 months in used oak. Ideally it is best consumed over the next year or so. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009.

Description:
Bright red. Spicy strawberry and raspberry aromas are sharpened by white pepper and rose. Fresh red fruits on the palate, with light tannins and a sweet, nicely focused finish. I like the brightness and energy here.

Description:
Medium red. Smoky raspberry and cherry liqueur aromas are complicated by cured meat, licorice and tobacco. Light in body but with good depth to its sweet red berry and anise flavors. This easy-to-drink wine gained flesh with air.
