The 2011 Corbatera is a classical-styled blend of Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon and white Macabeo from a warm and dry vintage that tips the scale at 16% alcohol. It fermented with selected yeast and went through malo in barrels where it matured in contact with the lees for one year. The nose has plenty of notes of chocolate and sweet spices wrapping around a core of very ripe fruit with some rusticity. The palate is full-bodied, with powerful flavors and a warm finish, no doubt lifted by the alcohol. An XXL Montsant. 3,000 bottles produced.

A blend of 70% Garnacha and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon that undergoes aging in 50% new American and French oak, the 2009 Corbatera has a lifted floral bouquet with raspberry and red cherry fruit as well as hints of vanilla from the French oak. The palate is medium-bodied, with smooth, saturated tannins. Notes of plum and mulberry dominate the middle and finish, which is rounded, harmonious and composed, though it misses a little structure and tension. Still, overall, this is a very well-made Montsant red. Drink 2013-2020. Importer: American Estates Wines Inc., NJ: (908) 273-5060
