Espelt Sauló Garnacha Carinena 2006
Empordà, Ampurdain-Costa Brava, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThe Sauló (the name of the region's decomposed granite) is a blend of garnacha and cariñena and like last year the '06 over delivers for the price. The nose is a mix of fresh mineral floral notes with bits of animal. The entry is fresh with fragrant raspberry fruit and earthy notes to keep it vibrant and dry. Great energy and vitality makes this a fine everyday red for the savvy sipper. Grilled anything will work here. Great value. Empordà sits within the Costa Brava region at the north-eastern extremity of Spain. Close to the French border and the Mediterranean, the area was a favourite of Salvador Dali and seems a perfect fit for this modern Catalan winery.Tasted: 26 February 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $15.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
