Onix 2007 Fusió Red (Priorat)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
This is a higher-end blend from Onix, and it offers an earthy, almost compost-like opening with leafy notes of tobacco, coffee grinds, leather and hard cheese. The palate is solidly built, with cheek-blasting berry and coffee flavors. Toasty on the back end, with bitter chocolate. Very big but lacks some precision and purity of aromas and flavors. Drink now through 2012.

Onix 1999 Red (Priorat)
- Best Buy
- $12
Catalonia, in Spain’s northeast, is a home to many grapes also grown in France’s Rhône Valley. Which home is the home is a dispute to avoid here, but don’t avoid this tasty, affordable 50-50 Garnacha-Cariñena (or en Français, Grenache-Carignane) blend.

Onix 2008 Clássic Red (Priorat)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
The sweet, rubbery nose deals earth, herbs, smoked meat and richness, while the palate is candied and big, with sweet, medicinal flavors of blackberry and black cherry. A touch lactic on the finish, but otherwise the wine is alert and ready to drink.

Onix 2007 Classic Red (Priorat)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Slightly baked and raisiny, with aromas of black currants and blackberry jam. The palate pushes some zest and kick, while the raspberry and plum flavors are best initially and then break up before a simple finish. Offers a good midlevel taste of Priorato. Imported by Fine Estates From Spain.

Onix 2005 Clàssic Tempranillo (Priorat)
- $13
Dark cherry, raspberry, mineral and black pepper aromas start this value-driven Priorat on its way. The palate features high-toned, borderline tart black cherry and plum flavors, while the finish shows a bit of resiny oak that translates into spice and vanilla. A reasonable wine; juicy but not very rich.
