The 2007 Gran Cruor (70% Syrah, 20% Carinena, and 10% Garnacha) is slightly more structured and fuller-bodied. It is a rich, layered, spicy wine that will be at its best from 2014 to 2022. Casa Gran del Siurana is the Priorat project of Emporda’s Castillo Perelada. The name comes from a farmhouse known as La Casa Gran located on the outskirts of the Priorat village of Bellmunt on the banks of the river Siurana. There are three levels of Priorat wines beginning with the entry tier GR-174. The middle tier of Casa Gran del Siurana is called Cruor, made up of 30% Garnacha, 20% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Carinena, and 10% Merlot (all of the permissible grapes of the Priorat DO). The wine is aged for 14 months in 50% new French oak. The top-tier Gran Cruor gives a starring role to the Syrah grape, unusual in a region where old-vine Garnacha and Carinena usually get top-billing. Unlike the GR-174 and Cruor wines, the blends and elevage vary from year to year.Importer: Perelada USA; www.pereladausa.com

The 2007 Cruor is a blend of 30% Garnacha, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 10% Carinena and 10% Merlot aged for 14 months in 50% new French oak, the rest second fill. The Cabernet seems to be in the aromatic driver’s seat, offering blackberry, cedar and graphite aromas. The palate is well-balanced with supple, spicy black fruit interlaced with pain grille and white pepper. There is a touch of dark chocolate towards the grainy tannic, finish. This is a delicious medium-term Priorat. Drink 2013-2018. Importer: direct through www.casagrandesiurana.com
