“Mas Donis”
Montsant 2005 . .
. .
.
11.79
91/100 - Wine Advocate. “Mas Donis Barrica is a custom cuvee
made for importer Eric Solomon using old-vine Garnacha (80+
years) and Syrah (30+ years). The 2005 Mas Donis Barrica is 85
% Garnacha and 15% Syrah aged for 8 months in French and
American oak before bottling without fining or filtration. It offers up
an expressive nose of slate, mineral, licorice, violets, black cherry,
and blueberry. Layered, long, and complex, this spicy,
hedonistic effort has 2-3 years of aging
potential but can be enjoyed now without guilt. It is
a great value.”
Acustic
Montsant 2006 . .
. .
.
17.99
90/100 - Wine Advocate. “The 2006 Acustic is a notable value
composed of 55% Samso and 45% Garnacha aged for 10 months in
French oak. Dark ruby/purple, it exhibits a fragrant bouquet of cedar,
spice box, mineral, and black cherry. This leads to a smooth-textured,
elegant, sweetly-fruited wine already revealing considerable
complexity. There is some silky tannin lurking in the background
which will allow this tasty effort to drink well through 2020.”
| Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Reserva 2004 . . . . . 21.99 91/100 - Our score. Matured for 22 months in 225 liter new and semi-new American oak casks, this beauty proffers lifted aromas of vanilla, mocha and black cherry. The fresh cherry fruit on the palate is rich and deep, buttressed by smooth, ripe tannins and lush acidity; all dovetailing together on the broad, elegant finish. |

Clos Galena
“Galena”
Priorat 2004 . .
. .
.
23.99
92/100 - Wine Advocate. “Clos Galena was established just six
years ago and is organically farmed. It contains a mix of old
vines and new plantings. The 2004 Galena is
composed of 35% Garnacha Negra, 25% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 15% Carinena aged
12 months in French and American oak. It is an
internationally styled effort with a dark ruby color, spicy red currant
and black cherry aromas with a touch of vanilla in the
background. Medium to full-bodied, it has a
supple texture, layers of sweet, ripe fruit,
and a long, heady finish. Allow another 2-4 years of bottle
age and drink it over the following 10 years.”
