		<description><![CDATA[Few places on the planet can claim a richer or more vibrant culture than Catalonia, a region of four provinces that constitutes one of the seventeen autonomous communities of Spain.

Blended largely from Cabernet&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot, this full-bodied wine has enticing fruit [...]]]></description>
