Occasional wine note

We're big fans of Perinet wines. We're big fans of wines from the Priorat region of Spain, the only other DOCa (DOQ) region in the country besides Rioja. What a fantastic blend delivering great aromas and flavors of ripe red and dark fruits, herbs, a touch of spice, and some earthy undertones. The acidity and tannin are well balanced and add nicely to this well assembled gem.

What experts say about this wine

Wine Enthusiast

This deep-hued red blend has an enticing nose of black cherry, Mission fig, clove and a hint of forest floor. Polished tannins provide a backdrop to pleasing acidity and cassis, black plum, fennel frond, dried thyme and lavender flavors. Soft floral and herb notes linger into the finish.
