H & G, Priorat (Spain) 2010

Mar 29, 2015

By Rich Cook

Wine of this quality is almost non-existent at this price point.  A deep nose of blackberry, black cherry, citrus zest and pie spice lead to a wonderfully dry palate that delivers the nose and adds vibrant white pepper and a touch of dill.  You’ll need some food to balance the grip — something like a grilled ribeye with olive oil, salt and pepper will be elevated, and you can go for the thick cut with what you saved on the wine!  Contains 50% Garnacha, 40% Carinena and 10% Syrah.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
