Special price on this Exciting "Natural" Wine!

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"

Joan d'Aguera "Planella" Montsant 2016
Crazy Low Price on Super Hip Eric Solmon Spanish Import!

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."

Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(4/2019) "Bright violet color. Spice-accented red/blue fruits on the nose, along with a suave floral overtone. Lively and incisive on the palate, offering mineral-inflected boysenberry and raspberry flavors that show a Pinot-like light touch. Silky tannins add subtle grip to the finish, which leaves a zesty red berry note behind."
