The 2006 Gran Cruor is made up of 80% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dense purple in color, it is slightly muted aromatically but does reveal notes of pain grille, pencil lead, game, blueberry, and pepper. It is a more forward wine than its siblings and can be approached now although it will evolve with 1-2 more years of cellaring. 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

This racy red offers cherry, cedar, herbal and balsamic notes over light, firm tannins, with spicy and mineral notes on the finish. Maturing, but still lively. Drink now through 2014. 400 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add
