Mas d’en Gil, Priorat (Catalonia, Spain) Clos Fontà 2019 ($85, Regal Wines)

The top wine from Mas d’en Gil is akin to a Grand Cru in every sense. Made from a blend of 60 percent Garnacha and 40 percent Cariñena, it hails from an old vineyard that maintains impressive freshness and acidity. The vines in the Clos Fontà vineyard, some nearly 100 years old, contribute immense character and typicity to the wine. Its aromas are focused and dense, offering rich notes of blackberry, cassis, and subtle floral hints. On the palate, it is silky and coating, balancing richness with vibrant energy.
