Celler Piñol, Terra Alta (Catalunya, Spain) 2008

Jun 3, 2009

By Marguerite Thomas

If wines could be compared to dogs, this one’s personality would definitely be a Golden Retriever: big, friendly, easygoing, adaptable.  It looks pretty in the glass (with reddish-blue overtones), and it sends berry, plum, and herbal flavors rolling across the palate.  This is a tail-waggin’ good wine, much more pleasing that its $10 price tag would indicate.
