Known for its bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy red wines,?Spain?is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained?and flourished?only through a great understanding of Spain?s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.

Tasting Notes
"Solomon calls Montsant "the next Priorat," no careless boast as his wife is the owner of Priorat's Clos Erasmus. This high altitude vineyard has produced an opaque ruby/purple-colored wine with exceptional density, as well as gorgeously pure blackberry and blueberry fruit intermixed with minerals and a hint of French oak. This blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Grenache (from 70-year old vines), and 10% Carignan was aged completely in French oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. It is a remarkable value from importer Eric Solomon."
