A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Graciano is, of course, a variety that appears to be indigenous to Rioja. Don't know any DNA work on Graciano. Apparently used mostly in Rioja for blending w/ their Tempranillo.
I've only tried a few Gracianos, but the ones I have I've liked quite a bit. I've particularly liked the Graciano produced by Louisa Sawyer-Lindquist/Verdad.

Tom, I think Louisa's Graciano must be really interesting, given where it grows, both in terms of soil and climate. Thanks for reminding me--I need to try it!

I have a 2017 in the cellar and not keen to open too young! Thanks for this.
