Gran Coronas represents a monumental turning point in innovation for Familia Torres. It’s when Miguel A. Torres went against the centuries long regional norms and planted Cabernet Sauvignon in Penedès in the 1960s at a time when most plantings were indigenous white varieties. Miguel’s outrageous quality Cabernet Sauvignon has led to Gran Coronas becoming a benchmark wine for the region. By blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, followed by prolonged oak aging, he puts together one of the family’s finest efforts each vintage.
If you’re looking for the best, affordable Thanksgiving wine, let me introduce you to this little treat courtesy of the Torres Family form the 2017 vintage. A juicy and yet silky Cabernet dominate blend that also features Tempranillo is just about as inviting as a wine gets. This is an unrivaled Spanish value. Black jammy fruits perfectly laced together with firm, chewy tannins, this wine has so much balance and poise and offers a slightly sweet finish capped off with well-integrated oak and a dash of spice courtesy of the Tempranillo.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
