Rotllan Torra Priorat
Priorat is a small and relatively new Denominacion in Spain's rugged and mountainous north east. This high altitude wine growing area is known for its unique terroir of black slate and quartz and yields elegant and structured blends based on the varietal Grenache. It is one of only two wine regions in Spain to qualify as DOCa, the highest qualification level for a wine region according to Spanish wine regulations, alongside Rioja DOCa.
This Priorat delivers both Old World and New World characteristics, offering an approachable fruit-driven profile. Licorice and dark cherry fruit aromas fill the glass while velvety tannins add weight and texture on the palate. $18.99
The 2006 vintage earned 90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate!
Anciano 'Gran Reserva' Tempranillo 2001
Incense, leather, cigar box, and black cherry notes fill the glass. The acidity and tannins have softened over the years, giving this red no hard edges. Drink this wine now, or over the next 6 years. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate rated this wine 90 points. $13.99
