Viña Ebbrezza Especial Montsant 2017
Montsant, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainEqual parts garnaxta and carignena from a red clay/granite soiled vineyard in Montsant. A partial native ferment (garnaxta in inox, carignan in amphora) precedes blending and moving to French oak (60% new) for 18 months. Ripe plum, cherry, boysenberry fill a fleshy palate, threaded with medicinal red fruit and bedded on stones. The soils give heft to the core, while the time in oak (60 new oak) provides the plush structure. Tannins are ample but furry, hugging this to a lightly warming, mineral-salted, haunting finish. Open in advance (or decant) and take with a light chill.Tasted: 15 March 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Blend: Garnacha - CariñenaUPC: 8437020042024
