The 2009 Plan B is a blend of 40% Garnacha, 25% Morenillo, 25% Carinena and 10% Syrah that is aged in 300-litre French barriques. It has a ripe, generous bouquet of macerated dark cherries, blueberry jam and violets that combine with some prune-like notes. The palate is full-bodied and jam-packed with very ripe black tarry fruit, although it is missing the delineation and elegance of the Sao. Drink now-2016. Importer: C&P Wines, NY; tel. (917) 846-1708
