Made entirely from Garnacha (Grenache), this concentrated, strikingly energetic wine is brimming with intense smoke and spice-accented red and dark berry character. A seductive floral nuance adds more complexity, while the subtle tannins don’t get in the way of immediate gratification. (JR)

El Molar is an unusual 100% Garnacha from a region known primarily for Monastrell/Mourvèdre. It is sourced from the estate’s youngest plots in El Molar, planted between 2004 and 2010 on sand and chalk soils. Aged in large foudres and barrels for 14 months. Light ruby color. Red fruit. Fresh
