Abrazo 2010 Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $8
An impressive wine for $8. This smells savory, like a mix of smoked meats, roasted berries and leather, and it feels juicy and racy, with a good texture and honest flavors of blackberry, savory meat and spice. The finishes is mild, with mild herbal notes and tobacco.

Abrazo 1996 Gran Reserva Red (Cariñena)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Sulfuric, with quite a bit of green character mixed into the fruit. Tastes lean, with herbal notes of raspberry and apple skins. Long and persistent on the finish, but bland in its length.

Abrazo 2008 Abrazo del Toro Syrah (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $5
How many $5 wines are this good? Not many. The nose is zesty and aggressive but settles and doesn’t offend, while the juicy, fresh palate has bright cherry and raspberry flavors. Basic, ripe, clean red wine.

Abrazo 2001 Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Best Buy
- $5
Full and minty, and quite the bargain at five bucks. This bargain buster features some cherry liqueur and sucking-candy flavors, while the finish is not devoid of some class, as it offers coffee and chocolate notes. Yes, it’s a bit like cherry soda without the bubbles, but what’s not to like at this price, especially if the menu calls for burgers or London broil?…

Abrazo 2009 Crianza Tempranillo-Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
This 50-50 blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo has a green, ashy sway to the nose. The palate runs sharp, with pointed acidity leading to a mix of basic acid-washed plum and cherry flavors that are ultimately defined by a green, herbal undercurrent.

Abrazo 2011 Garnacha (Cariñena)
- Online Exclusive
Scratchy, candied aromas of red fruits get things off to a rough start. The wine is acidic in feel, with tart, herbal red-fruit flavors. And it finishes pickled, with an herbal sharpness.

Abrazo 2003 Garnacha (Cariñena)
- $7
Sharp and edgy, with burnt leather on the piquant nose. Some red fruit and also a lot of spicy, green notes. Finishes swift and peppery.

Abrazo 1999 Crianza Garnacha-Tempranillo Red (Cariñena)
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Sharp and rubbery on the nose, with a racy, spirited red-cherry character. Trouble is, the acidity is piercing and the fruit, if there ever was any, is quickly exiting stage left.
