Can Blau is a blend of Syrah, Carignan and Garnacha, also known as Grenache in France. It was aged 12 months in French oak barrels. It is a light-bodied wine with a ruby color, delicate spicy, vanilla aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry fruit with crisp acidity and chewy, dusty tannins. Serve it with roasted or grilled beef that will soften the mouthfeel of the tannins. At this price you can invite family and friends. The Montsant wine region, located in Catalonia, which is in northeastern Spain on the Mediterranean coast, wraps around the Priorat wine region in a C-shaped curve. While the soils in Priorat are "Licorella" slate, Monsant soils are clay. Vineyard elevations are 656 to 2290 feet.
