Alvaro Palacios
Camins del Priorat Grenache Blend
Priorat, Catalunya, Spain
Concentrated yet lively dark berry and candied violet flavors are braced by a core of minerality that lends sharp delineation and lift. Drink it now with a bit of aeration. Alvaro Palacios’ Priorats are some of Spain’s greatest wines. His entry-level bottling consistently over-delivers. $25.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2019)

A true priorat through and through. Lush and smooth and down to party or dress up for a nice dinner

Lovely #priorat - plush bramble fruit nose backed by vanilla, fruit-forward character with less acidity, soft spice and a nice trailing finish. Paired beautifully with duck confit with cherry sauce at a nice tapas restaurant.

Memorial Day weekend at Seabrook, WA. Showing great. Dark blackberry & firm tannins. Rich, yet approachable. Juicy freshness accents the dark berries. Love this stuff.
