Region: Spain

Composition: 100% Garnacha

History: Priorat is known for intense, full-bodied, collectible bottles that thrill lovers of powerful wines from Napa and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Cellers Unió Tendral Selección, which comes from one of the region’s most historic producers and hails from a top vintage, is a gorgeous, lush, and textured Priorat that will delight fans of big, full-bodied reds.

Tasting Notes:

Deep crimson-ruby center with brick tones towards the edge. Aromas of warm plum, smashed black raspberry, crushed rock, and smoked cranberry. Deep fruit on the palate, plus Sangiovese-like notes of blood on steel, dried red flowers, and faint tones of smoked game. The palate initially registers broadly, then contracts to a focused, angular, long finish with a fine gravelly, dusty-rock texture.
