The ambitious Gil Family Estates seems to always be ahead of the curve and releasing something new and interesting. This certified organic wine from Cellars Can Blau in Spain is not labeled as a blend or varietal, but is actually a blend of Grenache & Cariñena. Produced from 25 to 40 year old vines in Montsant, the Garnacha vineyards are high altitude on slate soils, whereas the Cariñena vines are planted above clay soils. The result is a nice balance of mineral and juicy red fruit notes with a pleasant freshness. Expect a touch of raspberry, cherry, and a soft, pleasant finish.
