The Pinord offerings include one wine from Priorat, the 2008 Clos del Music which comes from is a biodynamically farmed, Demeter certified property. Using all 5 permissible grape varieties of the DO (Garnacha, Carinena, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah), the Clos del Music was aged in French oak for 14 months. Cedar, spice box, mineral, lavender, and assorted black fruits compose the nose of this smooth-textured, flavorful, lengthy red. It can be approached now but will benefit from another 3-4 years of bottle age. Bodegas Pinord produces wine in several DOs including Cava, Penedes, and Ribera del Duero.

A deep and dense wine, with coconut and blackberry dominating the weighty, powerful bouquet. This is an organic wine with an explosive palate of berry fruit and plenty of juicy acidity to keep it fresh and healthy. Toast, chocolate and cola are the finishing notes, and overall it’s a strapping wine to drink now thru 2013. Imported by Organic Vintners.——M.S.(10/1/2009)—— 90

Plum and prune flavors have a sweet, roasted character in this rich, slightly syrupy red. Cola, vanilla and candied cherry notes emerge over chewy tannins. This is big, but still fresh. Best from 2009 through 2016. 80 cases made, 80 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
