I am going to get Shaw to write on this one, but I wanted to put a place holder in here. This was a new Spanish varietal for us. Most Priorats are way too expensive, even for a special wine, at least for us. This one was closer in our budget, around $12-15, and we found it at ?World Market? I think. Priorat is a region just south of Barcelona, and according to the bottle, the vines grow on steep hillsides of shards of slate. This red is a blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Carinena. The vintner would like to suggest it has dark plums, sweet black cherries, with hints of rosemary, lavendar and mint. I would like to suggest blueberries and lots of "ooh, this is good!".
Anyhoo, we had this one with steak, simply grilled. And this was so yummy. Find and drink!
