Sangenie Vaque Priorat – 2006 – 8.8 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

This wine is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan; I do not have the exact varietal breakdown.  This wine is nicely scented with notes of Eucalptus and earth; and the palette detects baked blueberry, almond, sage and finishing with a delicate combination dark plum and fennel.

Found this wine at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco $14.99 a bottle–an exceptional price for wines from this appellation.

¡Salud!

Buil & Gine Joan Gine Gine Priorato – 8.9 – 2001 – James Meléndez / Jaime Patricio Meléndez

This Priorato is a blend of Granache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan; this wine exhibits plenty of herbaceous notes; most pronounced are Eucalyptus and mint.  This Priorato seems to be at it’s prime; I would enjoy now.

¡Salud!
