A gentle-edged, earthy and elegant red, with fragrant lavender and red berry notes laced with grilled garrigue, apple wood smoke and graphite shaving details. Offers medium body and length, with fine, well-integrated tannins guiding the chalky finish. An honest wine, with a real sense of place and sanguine charm. Drink now through 2028. 120 cases imported.

Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.
