Bodegas Parra Jimenez, La Mancha (Castilla-La Mancha, Spain) Graciano 2010

($11, Para Family Organic Imports):  Although Graciano has the reputation of making a tough and tannic wine, Parra Jimenez has tamed it nicely.  It’s a dense wine with an alluring combination of earth and explosive black fruit.  Both savory and succulent, it would be a good choice for a butterflied leg of lamb on the grill.  A great bargain. 88 Michael Apstein Jul 3, 2012
