The entry level 2008 Sotorrondero is a blend of 85% Syrah and 15% Garnacha aged for 10 months in 300 and 500-liter French oak. Purple-colored with an ethereal, sexy perfume of smoke, black raspberry, blueberry, bacon, and incense reminiscent of top-level Cote-Rotie, on the palate it is opulent, velvety-textured, and already complex. It has enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years and will drink well for a decade. This hedonist's delight is an incredible value. -Jay Miller
