2005 Costers del Ros Priorat L'obilaGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
5/21/2011 - dpavelka wrote: NRInfo: An outstanding example of the wines of Priorat, L’Obila defines opulence. This remarkable blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carignan is smooth and well balanced. The wine retains a perfect harmony of ripe red Grenache fruit, robust flavors of Cabernet, and the mature finish of Carignan. The flavors of chocolate, berries and licorice are delivered with a velvety mouth feel and a long smooth finish. Only 6,000 bottles are produced annually, and only 2,500 are offered in the U.S. |
