ENTHUSIAST OF ALL

Pardon the delay. I’ve been out of the country for awhile and just returned last week from a fantastic ten day trip to Spain. During my trip, I had the chance to sample a lot of great wine from this underrated wine-producing country. My wife and I enjoyed the wine I have selected as April’s wine of month while we dined at the exceptional El Celler de Can Roca in Girona.

FINCA SANDOVAL SYRAH MANCHEULA 2004, $40, 91 Points, 500 Cases Imported

Rich aromas and flavors of dark berry fruit, licorice, blackberry and peppery spice. Light traces of leather and chocolate are present as well but this Syrah is predominantly fruity, robust and spicy throughout the body and the long finish.
