Alvaro Palacios, Priorat DOC, Les Terrasses 2006 There’s an appropriate amount of brett in the nose, offering complexity to the red fruit notes. In the mouth this is a chewy wine, showing the structure we associate with this rugged region. Let this wine settle into the cellar for a few years or if you must drink it now, bring on the red meat. The grapes are 60% Carinena, 30% Garnacha and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Bottled in Gratallops 14.5% $29.99 at Bottle Barn
