Perinet Description

The scene for 2016 vintage takes advantage of the perfumed Garnatxa from Mas Vell vineyard and floral notes of Carinyena from the Pendents, our most sea breeze-influenced vineyard. Deep dark ruby pigments create a dense layer of colors. Aromas of anise, licorice and rosemary combine with subtle dry leaves. The long taste of the sea air and saltiness combine with the essence of the dry and rocky soil from Priorat to create well-integrated tannins. A wine to talk with, to feel the breath between the hot days in the rocky mountains of Priorat and sea salt in the cool evenings from the Mediterranean.

Dark deep ruby, hints of purple and velvet outskirts colour with a dense layer. On the nose shows a bouquet of dark fruits, blueberries, warm earth and toasty oak. Perfumed and floral open expression: anise, liquorice and rosemary honey. Fresh mint and shadows of pepper. On the palate is lush and mouth-filling with density, texture and length. Wild red fruits with well integrated silky tannins. Smooth and charming complexity. Balanced. Fresh and deep acidity, with hints of sea breeze & saltiness. Inspiring.

Blend: 60% Garnatxa, 37% Carinyena, 3% Syrah

Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points

Inky garnet in the glass, this wine offers a heady bouquet of blackberry, cassis, bramble and roasted fennel bulb. It is delightful on the palate, with a web of opulent tannins supporting flavors of black cherry, Luxardo cherry, crème caramel, star anise and black pepper. The remarkably bright finish features flavors of pomegranate and orange zest.
Editors' Choice

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

This generous red shows density and heft that are kept balanced by lively acidity. Flavors of plum, espresso, olive and dried flowers are well-layered with loamy earth, wild herb and spice accents carrying along the finish. Drink now through 2031.
