Agricola Falset-Marca 2005 Ètim Verema Sobremadurada Old Vines Late Harvest 375ml Red (Montsant)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $28
With spice, raisin and driving dark-fruit aromas, this sweetie is lifted and enticing on the bouquet. Big, rowdy and complex in the mouth, with layered cherry, cough drop and kirsch flavors. Very pure late, with coffee, chocolate and even more spice to the finish. Shows good fruit, acids, heft and overall balance. Delicious and highly recommended.

Agricola Falset-Marca 2005 Castell de Falset Red (Montsant)
- $40
Ripe and attractive, with deep red fruit aromas. The palate is intense and thorough, with solid tannins supporting ripe, natural flavors of baked berries, particularly blackberry and dark plum. Subtle and smooth on the finish, with length. The blend is 50% Garnacha and 25% each Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2013.

Agricola Falset-Marca 2001 Etim Garnacha (Montsant)
- $14
Sweet red-fruit and red-licorice aromas are attractive and round. The palate of peppy cranberry and plum is moderately tart, although it opens up and gets much friendlier if given time. While many wines from this section of Catalonia are big and modern, this one is more restrained and will perform well with food.

Agricola Falset-Marca 2007 Ètim Varema Tardana Negre Grenache (Montsant)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
Not a lot of glaring aromas of a sweet wine here; in fact, it’s showing fresh tomato, cherry and more dryness on the nose than candy or syrup. The palate is tight and a little clipped, with sweet cassis and reduced black plum flavors. Short on the finish, but good and grabby overall.

Agricola Falset-Marca 2008 Etim Selección Red (Montsant)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A full-bodied red blend from Montsant. The nose is big and smells of black cherry, licorice and herbal, foresty notes, while the palate is saturated and grabby at the edges, with herb-tinged, roasted-berry flavors. Snappy and cheek-starching on the finish; drink now through 2011.

Agricola Falset-Marca 2007 Ètim Old Vines Grenache (Montsant)
- $27
More basic and strained than prior wines from this producer. The nose is rubbery and cheesy at first, with leather and blackberry. Hard, tannic and acidic as well, and only a little softer with airing. Flavors are of snappy, tough cherry and berry, and the finish shows tannic bite. Could improve some with aging; now it’s a tough go.

Agricola Falset-Marca 2007 Imus Selection Red (Montsant)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Slightly rubbery and a touch smoky/burnt on the nose, with red-fruit aromas of rhubarb and raspberry. It’s fresh and solidly built on the palate, with strawberry, raspberry and lactic flavors. Finishes with vanilla, a touch of green and a little bitterness.

Agricola Falset-Marca 2007 Etim Selección Red (Montsant)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Opens with hard, ripe, almost forced aromas, which settle with air. The palate is wiry, firm and a touch hot, with cola, raspberry and plum flavors that rattle around on a bed of racy acidity. Finishes rather lean and raw, but with honest flavors of Garnacha and Carignan, which comprise 90% of the blend. Imported by North American Beverage Group.
