Great Wine!

La Ninota 2006

Region: Priorat, Spain

Grapes: garnacha [grenache], Mazuelo [Carignan], Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet
Sauvivnon

2006 La Ninota Tinto (Cal Grau, Bodega)

Bodega Cal Grau, "La Ninota" Tinto, Priorat, Spain 2006

Chocolate, raisin, dark red fruits! In using both Spanish and French
grapes, a touch of new oak, and great acidity gripping the finish with a
velvet glove, This is ripe and juicy, retaining a hint of

mineral at the edges, with a smidge of toasty wood and sweet spice
finish.

The perfect warm weather red and one of the few wines that has the fruit
and body to survive all sorts of spicy cusine. Personly tested it with a
very yummy hot-spicy pork golusah. Highly recommended with

Antico pizza pairing: "DiavaolA" spicy sopressata, pepperonata, bufala.

Yup, sad to see it go. Made for a great prototype and now I have about ten that fit that profile.
Some for as little as 8.99 ☺

Hope all is well at WineStyles!
