80% Grenache, 20% Carignane from Vendrell’s organic vineyards in the Montsant D.O., 75 miles west of Barcelona. Dark plum, raspberry and strawberry smells and flavors are joined by cracked black pepper, fine chopped dry herbs and black tea. Medium tannins and body, no oak to speak of and medium/low acidity. More character and personality than most reds priced in the low teens.
