Costador Terroirs Mediterranis "Metamorphika" Catalunya Garnatxa 2016
91+
Our Score
(10/2019) Spontaneously fermented and aged in clay amphorae, this Garnacha is playful yet structured. Aromas and flavors of black raspberry, green herbs and crushed violets are framed by chalky tannins and a long finish. Super fresh and bright, this is unlike almost any Garnacha you're likely to try, in the best way. Unfined and unfiltered.

Wine Advocate
(10/28/2016) "The 2015 La Serra Negre is a blend of old-vine Carinena with 20% Garnacha from a single vineyard that names the wine. I see a lot less oak here, and the wines are showing better balance, more purity and letting the terroir shine through. This is a great Carinena with the floral and tree bark notes, both earthy and ethereal. The palate shows some grainy, chalky tannins that provide a very tasty, almost salty finish. 2,000 bottles produced."

Joan d'Aguera "Finca l'Argata" Montsant 2016
Special price on this Exciting "Natural" Wine!
94
Wine Advocate
(4/27/2018) "The 2016 Finca l'Argata is now pure Garnacha from 40- to 60-year-old vines on sandy limestone soils. It fermented with full clusters and natural yeasts and matured in oak barrels for 15 to 16 months. It made me jump from my seat. With its light color and subtle and perfumed nose, it made me think of an elegant, ripe, perfumed version of a Chateau Rayas, nuanced, with some beef blood and meat notes. There's some complexity, but it's in need of a little more time in bottle (it was only bottled three weeks before I tasted it) and will develop even more nuances. The palate is medium-bodied but compact, with a solid structure, freshness and concentration, saline, ripe but with lightness, rustic and pretty. This is a superb Mediterranean Garnacha, a true revelation. 14,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2018. Drink Date: 2018 - 2022"

Celler Cecilio "Black Slate" Gratallops Priorat 2018
91+
Our Score
91
Wine Advocate
(8/30/2019) "The 2018 Black Slate Gratallops, a blend of Carinena, Garnacha and Syrah, is part of the Black Slate series produced for American importer European Cellars. The varieties fermented separately with natural yeasts, and only 20% of the volume was put in oak barrels for 15 months. It has effervescent freshness and a mixture of red and black fruit with just a spicy twist and some peachy character. There is some rusticity on the palate along with earthy tannins, giving it the profile of a classical Priorat. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2019."

Mas d'En Compte "Black Slate" Porrera Priorat 2016
94
Jeb Dunnuck
(4/3/2019) "The 2016 Black Slate Porrera comes from a project of importer Eric Solomon focusing on the specific villages in the Priorat. The 2016 is 60% Grenache and 40% Carignan that was mostly destemmed and spent a full year in used barrels. Thrilling blue fruits, tar, rose petals, and a smoky, marine, iodine-like character all emerge from this full-bodied effort that opens up nicely with time in the glass. Tasting like it cost three times the price, it picks up more minerality with time in the glass, has beautiful balance, and great purity of fruit. It would be hard to find a better value. Drink bottles over the coming 3-5 years."

Castell d'Age Brut Rosado Reserva NV
90
Our Score
(3/2018) Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this Cava is a rarity among the grapes grown in the Alt Penedes. A deep pink color gives way to notes of fresh strawberries and raspberries with lots of long-lasting bubbles and a chalky minerality. Its aging on its fine lees for almost two years adds additional complexity and mouthfeel. This wine is an over-achiever for its under $20 price point!

Our Score
(6/2020) Sparkling master Pere Mata crafts this yummy pink bubbly by blending 55% Garnacha with 35 % Trepat and 20% Parellada. Bone dry and very pale pink in color, this juice is lovely. The Cupada Rose presents tangy red fruit, red floral notes, a core of minerals, and a creamy, bubbly moutfeel. Zesty and a great price!

Our Score
(6/2020) A delicious bottle of bubbly! We're thrilled to have Raventos back in stock, and at such a great price. Generous, round and rich in the mouth, this dry sparkler is a blend of biodynamically farmed Xarel-lo (40%), Macabeu (32%), and Parellada (28%) After fermentation in tank, each bottle spent at least 18 months resting on its lees prior to disgorgement. A perfect, nicely refined sparkling wine for absolutely any occasion!

Joan d'Aguera "Planella" Montsant 2016
Crazy Low Price on Super Hip Eric Solmon Spanish Import!
91-92
Wine Advocate
(4/27/2018) "The 2016 Planella is now 75% Carinena and 25% Syrah. It fermented with full clusters and natural yeasts and matured in oak barrels for 12 to 14 months without racking. I previewed the wine just before bottling, once it was out of barrels, blended and ready to be bottled. There is a lot more freshness and precision compared with the 2015. The year was a little cooler, and the vinification was all full cluster (they sold the destemmer in 2012) with foot treading. Their aim is to make a classical wine from the Darmos zone of Montsant, which is more influenced by the Ebro River than the rest of the appellation. The nose is perfumed and subtle, and the palate is medium-bodied and very balanced, terrifically tasty, with a salty twist and very good length. This is the new direction of their wines, and what I tasted should be very much what goes into bottle. 14,000 bottles will be filled in March 2018."

Can Feixes "Blanc Seleccio" Penedes 2019
90
Our Score
(5/2020) We absolutely love this wine! We've been buying this distinctive cuvee in the tall green bottles from Can Feixes for over 20 years, and it is as delicious as ever. Made from a certified organically grown blend of Parellada (locally, Montonec), Macabeo, Chardonnay and Malvasía de Sitges, this crisp, dry white is citrusy and completely refreshing, with a wonderful salty minerality at its core. This 12% ABV wine has a very lively palate and an impressively rich texture. Excellent as an apertif, and will perform with great versatility at the table.
