Vicente Gandia 2004 El Miracle 120 Red (Valencia)
- Best Buy
- $10
Deep and secure on the nose, with richness and a strong whiff of fresh leather. The palate is serious as it deals black fruit and spice. Chocolate and rugged tannins carry the hard, almost grabby finish. A power¬ful but approachable blend.

Vicente Gandia 2000 Hoya De Cadenas Reserva Prevada Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon (Utiel-Requena)
- $11
More minty oak than fruit on the nose, with simple but clean candied fruit flavors. A bit short on depth and complexity, but totally drinkable, especially after some airing. Decent texture to the finish, with leftover spice and wood-based flavors.

Vicente Gandia 2002 Ceremonia Reserva De Autor Tempranillo (Utiel-Requena)
- $15
Bacon and leather meld with modest black-fruit aromas on the nose of this Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon-Bobal blend. It’s fairly plump, with blackberry and vanilla flavors. Ripe and tasty enough, but neither elevated nor complex.

Vicente Gandia 2002 Tempranillo (Utiel-Requena)
- Best Buy
- $7
Some heft and richness propel this bargain wine to a higher level. There are even some bacon, beef and leather aromas in addition to the plump fruit scents. Chewy and chunky, with flavors of black cherry and raspberry. Yet still tangy and refreshing enough to avoid being clumsy.

Vicente Gandia NV Hoya de Cadenas Brut Sparkling (Cava)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Neutral on the nose, with a touch of matchstick and sulfur. Good in the mouth but foamy, with dry, grassy white fruit and green herb flavors. Lightly herbal and lemony on the finish.

Vicente Gandia 2004 Fusta Nova Moscatel (Valencia)
- $11
Honey, pear and sugar cane are the dominating flavors in thi sticky, rich, unctuous sweet wine. There isn’t a whole lot else to say about it: you have to have an aggressive penchant for candy to get into this style of wine.

Vicente Gandia 2001 Generacion 1 Red (Utiel-Requena)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Composed of 50% Bobal, a rubbery, hard-tannin grape, and Cabernet Sauvignon; to call this wine shrill would be an understatement. The color is purple, the nose dense but quiet. Black cherry flavors with unforgiving acidity and tannins create a grabby, squelching palate feel.

Vicente Gandia 2010 Organic Verdejo (Spain)
- Online Exclusive
- $8
A bit off course as Verdejo goes, with spritz to the palate and then mealy citrus and persimmon flavors. Lingers but doesn’t do or say much on the finish. Not bad but it doesn’t click.
— M.S.
