(2/21/2018) "A blend of 65% Garnacha, 25% Cariñena and 10% Syrah, the 2015 Salanques comes from a steep, three-hectare vineyard located near the village of Poboleda. This deep ruby/purple colored beauty offers a stunning bouquet of blueberries, raspberries, violets, and hints of resinous herbs and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, with a light, graceful, elegant texture that just glides across the palate, It's not huge, but has plenty of intensity and length. Maturity: 2018 - 2028."

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.

Costador Terroirs Mediterranis "Metamorphika" Catalunya Macabeu Brisat 2017
91
Our Score
(10/2019) From Costador's Joan Franquet, an olive oil producer turned winemaker, this approachable orange wine is comprised of 100% Macabeu that is macerated on skins for eight weeks in clay amphorae before spontaneous fermentation occurs. Afterward, it is moved to neutral barrel where it rests on the lees for seven months. The resulting wine blossoms with aromas of orange peel and white flowers, with a breeze of salinity and subtle tannin - textured and complex, yet easy-going!

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."

Can Sumoi Ancestral Montonega 2017
90
Our Score
(5/2019) Can Sumoi is the new label for natural wines from the superlative Cava producer Raventos I Blanc, whose aim is to produce wines from traditional Cava varietals that exhibit terroir without intervention. The Montonega (aka Parellada) is hand-picked, macerated for 4 hours with the skins, then partially fermented with native yeasts, leaving the fermentation to complete in the bottle. The result is a crisp, fizzy wine with bright notes of underripe apple flesh and white flowers, with a touch of salinity on the finish. Having mastered modern Cava winemaking, Raventos set its sights on ultra-traditional methods and they have nailed it!

Can Sumoi "Perfum" Penedes 2018
90
Our Score
(9/2019) Can Sumoi, a side-project of famed Cava producer Pepe Raventos, is producing some of the most interesting and delicious natural wines in Penedes, with a special focus on reflecting the region's unique terroir. The "Perfum" is a blend of Moscatel, Macabeo and Parellada, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aptly named, its character is outwardly floral, with a bouquet of jasmine, honeysuckle and white rose complemented by meyer lemon and the salinity and seashell minerality of a coastal breeze. Versatile with any kind of seafood or verdant salad, this is pure, bottled sunshine.

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!

Celler Cecilio "Black Slate" Gratallops Priorat 2018

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."
