Cellers Melis 2005 Melis Red (Priorat)
- $99
Melis is a project backed by wine industry folks from California, but this blend of old-vines Grenache along with Carignan, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon is very European. It’s heady but well balanced, with smooth edges and not too much fiery attitude, roughness or scratchy tannins. It’s forward and big-boned, but there’s enough creamy richness to make it friendly…

Cellers Melis 2004 Melis Red (Priorat)
- $90
Powerful is almost an understatement in describing this big boy. The nose starts out fiery and rough before settling to intense. It’s all guns blazing on the palate, where tight, racy raspberry fruit holds court. With intense oak and a molten core generating 15.5% alcohol you may want to tread carefully. The ride is not for the weak. Garnacha with Carignan, Syrah…

Cellers Melis 2005 Elix Red (Priorat)
- $50
Linear, strapping and tight in style, with a keen focus on wiry red-berry fruit. There’s a ton of cherry on the nose, and it’s definitely natural and pure, with dry raspberry flavors and a solid finish. Firm, structured and delivers a real taste of the Priorat. Not overextracted; good with food. Drink now through 2012.
