Alvaro Palacios
Camins del Priorat Grenache Blend
Good everyday wine. Sour cherry fruit notes dominate the start, but then some nice acidity and balanced violet and a hint of leather. Fresh and approachable now. Pairs nicely with it’s a variety of foods and I like the value.

Sep 2nd, 2021Concentrated yet lively dark berry and candied violet flavors are braced by a core of minerality that lends sharp delineation and lift. Drink it now with a bit of aeration. Alvaro Palacios’ Priorats are some of Spain’s greatest wines. His entry-level bottling consistently over-delivers. $25.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2019)

Jul 30th, 2019Lovely #priorat - plush bramble fruit nose backed by vanilla, fruit-forward character with less acidity, soft spice and a nice trailing finish. Paired beautifully with duck confit with cherry sauce at a nice tapas restaurant.
