Can Blau 2007 Mas de Can Blau Red (Montsant)

Editors' Choice

Price $45

A big, balanced, bombastic Montsant made from one-third each of Mazuelo, Garnacha and Syrah. On the bouquet it’s the fruit that endears but mocha and vanilla stick out. The flavor profile sees lemony oak, blackberry, blueberry and minerality. Spicy and long late with size and grip. Drink now through 2015. — M.S. (10/1/2011)

Can Blau 2009 Mas de Can Blau Red (Montsant)

Price $45

This is deep and attractive, with complex aromas of balsam wood, ripe black fruit and bacon. It feels really good and dense, with pastry, roasted berry, chocolate and molasses flavors. The finish is long, flavorful and rewarding. A modern wine to drink now–2016. — M.S. (12/31/2012)

Can Blau 2005 Red (Montsant)

Price $16

Montsant’s inherent character is nicely captured in this blend of Carignan, Syrah and Grenache. The bouquet is entirely smooth and inviting, if a bit generic.

Call it simple or call it just right for the price; this is a fine red wine with character, balance and ease. — M.S. (4/1/2008)

Can Blau 2006 Mas de Can Blau Red (Montsant)

Price $45

Very big, modern, sweet and oaky. And that doesn’t mean it’s bad, because the richness, high alcohol (15%), buttery barrel notes and candy-like qualities are all rendered well. Still, be on the watch for creamy oak, cinnamon, café mocha and butter more than precise, angular fruit character. Should get more integrated with another year of bottle age. The boisterous… — M.S.

Can Blau 2008 Can Blau Red (Montsant)

Price $16

Cherry and leather aromas show a stemmy, brambly element. The mouthfeel is sharp and scratchy, while the flavors are a mix of reedy tobacco, raspberry and cherry. Choppy but juicy and lively on the finish. A blend of Mazuelo, Syrah and Garnacha. — M.S. (10/1/2011)
