LOS 800 PRIORaT<br />

This is a mouthfilling blend<br />

of 50 percent Garnacha, 30<br />

percent Cariñena, 10 percent<br />

Syrah and 10 percent Cabernet<br />

Sauvignon that brings aromas<br />

of anise, smoke and cherry with<br />

sweet fruit up front and a fresh,<br />

lingering cedar and spice finish.<br />

COdORNÍu SELECCIóN<br />

RaVENTOS BRuT<br />

Spain $17.99 521773<br />

This sparkling cuvée was<br />

traditionally set aside only for the<br />

winery-founding raventos family.<br />

Codorníu’s 125th anniversary this<br />

elegant, fruity and toasty sparkling<br />

Chardonnay, Xarel-lo and<br />

Macabeo blend was made available<br />

to every wine drinker!<br />

MaRQuéS dE RISCaL<br />

RIOJa RESERVa<br />

Spain $28.00 214817<br />

A grandaddy bodega of La rioja,<br />

Marqués de riscal represents<br />

with their classic reserva. it<br />

bests the regulations by staying<br />

in American oak barrels for a<br />

whopping 26 months. Cigar<br />

box, lifted berry aromatics and<br />

a pleasant earthiness bolster this<br />

supple yet fresh balanced red.<br />

BaRCELO VIña<br />

MayOR RESERVa<br />

Spain $28.99 472654<br />

in Spain the “reserva” label<br />

brings real credence, mandating<br />

at least three years’ aging<br />

with a minimum of 12 months<br />

in oak barrels. Hence the<br />

comparatively older vintage<br />

of Viña Mayor that’s currently<br />

available. it’s a fine testament<br />

to Tempranillo, with rich plum,<br />

blackberry and a luxuriously<br />

smooth finish.<br />

BuRGaNS aLBaRIñO<br />

Spain $24.96 226795<br />

A solid introduction to the<br />

Albariño grape and the assertive<br />

elegance found in northwestern<br />

Spanish whites, burgans bristles<br />

with an intriguing mix of floral<br />

and citrus notes and a freshness<br />

that cries out for a plate of freshshucked<br />

oysters with a simple<br />

squeeze of lemon.<br />

EVOHé GaRNaCHa<br />

Spain $17.94 664367<br />

Grapes from ancient Garnacha<br />

vines growing in a remote corner<br />

of Aragon are the secret to this<br />

vibrant, unoaked red that bursts<br />

forth with black cherry and<br />

blackberry fruit. A solid food wine,<br />

it is a great partner to roast meats.<br />
