At the higher end of the portfolio, the 2006 Sacra Natura is certified organic. It is composed of 35% Carinena, 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, and 10% Tempranillo aged for 6 months in French, American, and Hungarian oak. Purple-colored, it offers up an enticing nose of cedar, tobacco, pencil lead, blueberry, and blackberry. This leads to a medium to full-bodied, layered wine with complex flavors, gobs of ripe fruit, and 2-3 years of aging potential. Drink this outstanding value in organic wine over the next 6-8 years. Celler Vinos Pinol was founded in 1945 by Josep Arrufi. The fourth generation currently runs the estate which consists of 100 acres in Terra Alta, a D.O. which is just a bit drier and warmer than neighboring Montsant and Priorat. Vinos Pinol has turned out several red and white wine values that are noted on the Best Buy chart at the end of this report.Importer: Patrick Mata, Ole Imports; www.oleimports.com
