“Kravitz still has a knack for finding good wines at great prices” – Robert Parker, Parker on Wine, BusinessWeek, 8/20 & 27, 2007
Panarroz
2009 Red Blend
Looking to exploit the great potential for value in Jumilla, HPS President Dan Kravitz blended the first vintage of Panarroz at Bodegas Olivares in 2004. The maiden 2003 vintage was released to great critical acclaim, with successive vintages garnering glowing press and a loyal following in the marketplace.
Tasting Notes: This youthful, unoaked blend offers plenty of plummy,
dark fruit aromas, with light spicy, peppery notes, and bold fruit and a silky texture on the palate.
Serve With: A versatile wine that will complement most meals, Panarroz will pair especially well with tapas, grilled vegetables, flank steak, seared tuna, and teriyaki-glazed salmon.
