Pinot Noir Double L Vineyard |
The Pinot Noir Double L exhibits a rich cherry nose and hints of vanilla oak. It is soft and round in the mouth with excellent purity of flavor and depth. It exhibits more precision, and refinement than the 12 Clones and has a lovely persistent finish. |

Twelve Clones Pinot Noir |
Aromas of strawberries, tar and light earth follow through to a medium body with fine and light tannins. A floral, watermelon and citrus aftertaste. A pleasing purity of fruit to this. Drink now. |

Mas d'en Gil Priorat |
Bellmunt |
Quite earthy and savory with very ripe, but not overripe blackberries. Rich with generous, rather soft tannins and quite a long, savory finish. A good food-wine. Drink now or hold. |
