I’ve been told by locals that Montsant is the region that makes Priorat style wines but at a better value (and they don’t mean that euphemistally, they do mean better value). On the map, it almost envelops Priorat. So far, so true. Raspberries and stone fruit predominate. Maybe a touch hot. Didn’t blow my mind, but it’s definitely a competently made wine from good grapes. I will definitely be back for this one. — 2 months ago
A solid benchmark for Garnatxa: delicate blackberries and raspberries followed by soft, subtle hints of stone fruits. — 4 months ago

According to our botiga, this is actually a blend of sumoll, garnaxa, and cab franc. Nevertheless, I’m happy to be continuing our exploration off the beaten path of French clones. Fruit forward with cherries, raspberries, and blackberries dominating. Otherwise fairly light in the way of tannins and alcohol. Good slightly chilled on a hot summer day. A bit spendy by Catalonian standards at 15.90€, but worth it. — 2 months ago
A bit big for my wife’s taste, but I loved it. Like a really good new world Claret, this is a dream team of varietals expertly grown that would do well with a few years of cellaring. — 3 months ago
Cherries come through strongly. Not as tannic as I was expecting from the usual Cab—like a really good New World Pinot, actually. The pepper from the Syrah also comes through. — 4 months ago
Melon, green apple, grilled asparagus, and artichoke. Doesn’t sound like an appetizing combination, but it was quite delicious. Served to my lovely wife on her birthday with eggplant Milanese and a salad of white beans, pea greens, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. — 16 days ago
Everything good meant by the song, “Tiny bubbles.” Hints of melon, lemon curd, and minerality waft out of a delicate effervescence. — 3 months ago
Trepat, Garnatxa, and Pinot. Doesn’t seem to be bottle conditioned (nor is it advertised as such). But very good, nevertheless. Tastes of peaches. — 3 months ago

Not sure if it was excessive brett, cork taint, or something else, but this wine was seriously flawed. For all Priorat is talked up, I expected better. I am beginning to suspect that the region is a tad overrated compared with Montsant and Empordà. — 6 days ago
