This small, limited production winery, Genium Celler, in Priorat produces this lovely cuvee, a blend of 50% Garnacha, 25% Merlot, 20% Syrah, and 5% Cariñena. It exhibits cherry, cassis, and plum flavors with a mineral-tinged backbone. It is layered with excellent intensity, soft tannins, and balance. Easy drinking and would make a great accompaniment to lighter game dishes or even fish as I enjoyed a glass of this with a Canary Island Branzino.
