The red 2014 Los Almendros was cropped from a challenging harvest in the Valencia zone. It's a blend of Syrah with 30% Marselan (a crossing of Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon) and 20% Garnacha Tintorera from their estate vineyards planted in the year 2000. Los Almendros (the almond trees) is the name of a stony plot in the property that was identified as the source of more concentrated wines. The grapes from these plots were fermented separately without crushing with a bleeding before being transferred to 500-liter barrels (70% new) for the final of the fermentation with daily batonnage. The wine was kept in these barrels for 14 months. The nose is quite predictable and a little anonymous, lost in the blend of varieties and generous oak. The palate is medium-bodied with abundant dusty tannins and a light bitter finish, ending quite dry. A well-oaked commercial red. 7,500 bottles produced.

Plush yet polished, this red delivers cherry and kirsch flavors, with smoky mineral accents and a touch of loamy earth. Juicy acidity balances the slightly chewy tannins. Drink now through 2020. 550 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Valencia Select to Add

The 2009 Angosto Los Almendros is composed of equal parts Garnacha Tintorera, Syrah, and Marselan aged for 15 months in French oak. Smoke, mineral, and a confiture of black fruits inform the bouquet of this attractive blend. Succulent raspberry flavors and lively acidity compose the wine’s lively personality and lead to a lengthy, seamless, fruit-filled finish. It, too, will evolve for 1-2 years but can be approached now. Bodega El Angosto’s new releases are outstanding. Importer: Hidalgo Imports, Miami, FL; Tel. (305) 477-7717
