Montsant, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThe Zerran Tinto is a 50/40/10 mix of Montsant garnacha (old vines) carignan also know as mazuelo and syrah. The vineyard sits at some 500-600 meters above sea level and is protected by a series of mountains. The soils are Priorat-like with Montsant said to be a bit more complex with a mixture of slate (llicorella), sandy clay, and chalk. The nose is a mix of stony mineral notes that preview a soft, juicy, red with floral, dark fruit flavours. Round supple and ready to drink. The wine is aged for 10 months in second and third use French oak barrels. Fair value.Tasted: 12 January 2016Tasted by: Prices:

Montsant, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainZerran Tinto is imported by and bottled for innovative Spanish importer Jorge Ordoñez, responsible for introducing many characterful and regional Spanish wines to the USA. This savoury Montsant is mostly very old vine garnacha and mazuelo (aka carignan) with a splash of syrah. Big and concentrated, with dense black fruit, crushed stone, black flowers, kirsch, anise and cracked pepper covering a firm, muscular structure. Fantastic value for this Priorat neighbour.Tasted: 12 January 2016Tasted by: Prices:
