Gritty, spicy aromas of plum and wild-berry fruits open this hefty but classy blend of Garnacha, Carignan and Monastrell from the warmer interior of Catalonia. On the palate, this is tight and linear as well as charged up and strapping, meaning the cellar is where it should go. Peppery, spicy black-fruit flavors highlight the natural grit of Carignan, while this is concentrated, spicy and enriched by chocolaty oak on a long and massive finish; best from 2023 through 2035. - Michael Schachner

This bold and sinewy red is packed with flavor. Notes of steeped black cherry and currant are teamed up with graphite, wild herb and espresso underpinnings. A vibrant acidity accentuates the tea, spice and orange peel elements, marking the long finish. Should age nicely. Garnacha, Monastrell, Querol, Samsó and Garro. Drink now through 2033. – GS

Inky violet. Lush dark fruits, licorice and a touch of cola on the deeply scented nose. Broad and smooth in texture, offering ripe blackberry and cherry preserve flavors and a subtle touch of spiciness. Round, even tannins frame a long, supple finish that leaves a building floral note behind. -- Josh Raynolds
