Lelia 2009 Garnacha (Cariñena)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $10

Full, sweet, a touch reduced and granular on the nose, but exemplary of what affordable Garnacha from a good vintage should be like. The palate is stacked and deep, while the flavors are a mix of wild berry, rubber, toast and espresso. Turns a bit hot on the finish, but food will tame that. Drink now. — M.S. (5/1/2011)

Lelia 2006 Garnacha (Cariñena)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $9

Nice and smoky, with dark, earthy aromas and no signs of strain on the bouquet. The palate pops with raspberry and red-plum flavors, while the feel is mildly tannic and healthy overall. Turns a touch tangy and herbal on the finish, but there’s offsetting licorice and nutmeg that brings things to a good conclusion. — M.S. (2/1/2009)

Lelia 2008 Garnacha (Cariñena)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $9

A touch green and grassy at the start, with cinnamon, cherry candy and red-fruit aromas. The palate is fresh and snappy, with sweet berry flavors and just a slight bit of resin and/or green character. Finishes light and quick, making it an easygoing red wine that isn’t meant for deep analysis. — M.S. (10/1/2009)

Lelia 2005 Garnacha (Cariñena)

Online Exclusive

Price $8

A raisiny wine with hot-weather characteristics throughout. The nose is baked and the palate offers mostly prune and burnt oak. There is a limited scope to the mouthfeel, which remains heavy and deep throughout. — M.S. (12/15/2007)
