The entry-level 2007 Veraton is 100% estate-grown Garnacha aged for 17
months in new French and American oak before bottling without
filtration. Deep crimson-colored, it has a sexy nose of smoke, spice
box, lavender, black cherry, and black raspberry that wafts from the
glass. Full-bodied on the palate with layers of succulent red and black
fruit, it is balanced, pure, and lengthy. The vocal low-alcohol crowd will have disdain for this wine;
those who enjoy big, powerful, in-your-face wine will love it.
