This sinewy red shows a savory character, with espresso and tar notes framing the dried cherry, cranberry and licorice flavors. Vivid acidity and firm, rather grippy tannins give this a bold, slightly savage aspect. Drink now. 11,000 cases made, 1,148 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Priorat Select to Add

Capafons-Osso’s 2007 Sirsell from a relatively challenging vintage (no upper-tier wines were produced) was sourced from organically farmed vineyards and aged for 17 months in French oak. It is a blend of 40% Garnacha, 29% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Syrah and Carinena. Aromas of earthy minerality and brooding black fruit lead to a compact wine in need of greater volume. However, it possesses ample savory black cherry fruit and moderate length. It is unlikely to evolve significantly and should be consumed over the next several years. Importer: Folio Fine Wine Importers, Napa, CA; www.foliowine.com

The 2006 Sirsell, a blend of 55% Garnacha, 30% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon and Carinena aged for 14 months in primarily French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it has a pleasant perfume of smoke, mineral, scorched earth, herbs, and black cherry. On the palate the wine has attractive savory, spicy flavors but lacks depth and thus comes off as a bit superficial. Drink it over the next six years.
