Cellers Melis
Priorat Grenache Blend
This was the first wine that we brought of the night. H Keplinger killed it with this vintage. What an unbelievable elegant expression of Garnacha from Priorat. Despite the fact that it is 15.5% alcohol, it is completely masked. Soft tannins, velvety texture that feels like silk on the palate. Bravo!

Well-made for its style. Lots of lush oak, but well integrated and of high quality. Wine was balanced and had an admirable grace. New world style, old world locale.
