Wowzer!!!
This week's offering is an off-the-radar wine from Spain we think you might really enjoy.
 Espelt Old Vines Garnacha 2013
The new 2013 vintage just landed on Thursday and it's already turning heads.
One reason might be that some of the vines date back to the year 1900 (talk about impressive!!!), or perhaps it's because Robert Parker called this a "gorgeous wine" with "remarkable intensity" (who knows better than the big man himself?), or maybe it's because only 14,000 cases were imported into the United States (that's a really, really tiny amount of wine to supply the entire country), or it could be because it garnered a 90 point score AND it sells for less than $13/bottle every day AND it's actually available to our account on Cape Cod AND it also doesn't hurt that it sells for less than $10.50/bottle after case discount.
Phew! All of those seem like pretty amazing reasons to order this wine right now, don't you think?
Over to the Big Guy.
"This stunning custom cuvee from Eric Solomon was made with the help of Frenchman Jean-Marc Lafage. From granite soils around Spain's Costa Brava, just two kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, some of the grapes in this wine come from old vines dating back to 1900. The 2013 Garnacha Old Vines (100% Grenache aged four months in new and used French oak) boasts remarkable intensity as well as richness along with lots of strawberry, wild, briery mountain fruit and hints of spice, flowers, underbrush and Mediterranean herbs. The sweet tannin, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and luscious personality have resulted in a gorgeous wine to enjoy over the next several years. Happily, 14,000 cases have been imported to the U.S."
(Robert Parker, Wine Advocate)
