Spain
Spain is the third largest wine producing country in the world, and has been producing wine since the Phoenicians first planted vines in Jerez (Sherry) about 1100 BC. But since the 1980's the Spainish wine industry has been increasing the quality of the wines produced and today produces some of the most exciting wines in the world at all price levels.

Almira
Almira Los Dos 2005
Spain, WINES
From slopes on the edge of the Sierra Iberica, just south of Navarra where Garnacha is king, this special cuvée blends 7% Syrah with rich Grenache produced from vines of 35 to 50 years of age. The resultant wine exhibits an elegance rarely encountered in the wines from this DO. Fermentation is classical, with no carbonic maceration. Aging is wholly in stainless steel. The wine is immediately aromatic, full and friendly on the palate and finishes with a refined length.

Fontana
Fontana Mesta 2005
Spain, WINES
Made from 92% Tempranillo and 8% Merlot – Tempranillo is Spain’s most widely planted red grape, here expressed purely and perfectly. The grapes are pneumatically pressed, vinified classically, with no carbonic maceration, in temperature-controlled stainless steel, and aged with no barrel treatment. The textbook Tempranillo flavor of ripe cherries with a touch of leather in the nose and on the finish is underlined by Mesta’s clarity of fruit and bright acidity.

Juan Gil
Bodegas Juan Gil Monestrell 2005
Spain, WINES
This lush, ripe Mourvedre (aka Monastrell in Jumilla, Spain) has aromas of cherry cola, dark berries, and chocolate. The palate has a modern style with bright, big fruit characters but also a note of earth and leather that gives the wine a european feel. Long and serious a real steal at eighteen dollars. - Christopher Miller, Advanced Sommelier
