Torres 2019 Varietat Recuperada No. 32 Pirene (Catalonia)
Editors' Choice
Made from an almost-extinct indigenous variety that has been repropagated by the Torres Family, this wine has a nose of brambly berries, pomegranate and flint with a light hint of wildflowers. It is quite soft at first sip and then builds in texture as midweight tannins take brief hold of the palate. It offers a sensuous, almost syrupy quality in the mouth, with flavors of blackberry, maraschino cherry, violet candy, smoke and thyme that linger into a savory finish. Mike DeSimone
