Garnet in color, surprisingly more transparency than I was expecting. Sparkling and bright in the glass—a wine that looks alive. The fruit is ripe and juicy, nicely steering away from any heavy jamminess. The tannins are firm and slightly drying, but overall very comfortable in the mouth and nose. Fabulous cured meat and smokiness in both the aroma and flavor profiles.
"The 2009 Ateca was sourced from mountainside vineyards and aged for 10 months in French oak. It displays aromas of cedar, an earthy minerality, black cherry, and lavender leading to a savory, deep, well-balanced red with succulent fruit and a lengthy, seamless finish. Drink this outstanding value over the next 4-5 years. "
