May we suggest this 2004 Alejandro Fernandez ‘Dehesa La Granja’? It’s our wine of the week. And I’ll let our restaurant critic, S. Irene Virbila, explain why:
‘Yet another stunning, value-priced wine from Alejandro Fernandez and his Grupo Pesquera, the 2004 Dehesa La Granja is 100% Tempranillo from 13-year-old vines. That’s young by Spanish standards, yet this unfiltered medium-bodied red is lush and complex, with deep flavors of blackberries and plums, herbs and a touch of smoke. Tannins are mellow, and the finish lingers. Drink it now or wait awhile. But somehow I don’t think this bottle is going to be hanging around in anybody’s cellar for long.’
