La Planella is a blend made exclusively for the United States market. The 2005 is made up of 50% Carignan, 20% Grenache, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Syrah. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged 6 months in French and American oak. It is dark ruby in color, with a fruity, spicy nose that jumps from the glass. Medium bodied with some elegance, this is a wine for near-term drinking over the next 2-4 years. Montsant, a relatively new D.O., surrounds the famous D.O. of Priorat southwest of Barcelona.
