Torres is a major exporter of Spanish wine and is the largest family-owned winery in Spain, with operations also in Chile and California.
This wine comes from the Catalonia region of Spain, located in the northeast part of the country. Wine has been produced there in the Mediterranean climate since the Roman times.
The Gran Reserva designation means that the wine has been aged for two years in oak and three years in the bottle.
This is a blend of grenache (60 percent), carignan (25 percent) and syrah (15 percent) that pours dark and inky yet is surprisingly light with well-balanced tannins.
Sherry: "Cocoa, raspberry and black cherry flavors." 3-1/2 stars
Chris: "Leather notes with dry raspberry and black cherry on the finish." 3-1/2 stars
Available locally for about $13.
Coming next week: Murphy-Goode Liar's Dice Zinfandel
