The 2006 Malondro spent 12 months in 25% new French and American oak. It offers up an alluring bouquet of cedar, smoke, mineral, black cherry, and blueberry compote. Layered, dense, succulent, well-balanced, and long, it will drink well over the next six years. For those looking for Priorat-styled wines without the lofty price tag, Montsant is the place to search. Celler Malondro is a fourth generation family-owned winery whose vineyards are composed of equal parts Garnacha and Carinena and harvested as a field blend. The wines are aged in French and American oak with the upper level wines seeing more new barrels. Importer: Mark Truman, Truman Wine Company, Playa del Rey, CA; tel. (888) 627-6116
