Laurona 2000 Red (Montsant)

Editors' Choice

Price $20

A powerful, pretty wine with much of the qualities of a high-end Priorat, (Which makes sense because Montsant is right next door to Priorat.) it offers a bottomless nose of deep red fruit and flowers. That’s matched by the palate, which is ripe and everlasting as it transitions to the spicy, complex finish. — M.S. (3/1/2004)

Laurona 2003 6 Vinyes de Laurona Red (Montsant)

Price $27

Not exactly sleek but if you’re O.K. with better than average size, sweetness and heat, it’s more than fine.
