Maius, Priorat Tinto "Barranc de la Bruixa", Priorat, Spain, 2020
{organic} Carignan, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon
DENSE GARNET CHERRY, ROASTED CHESTNUT & COCOA
Starring Carignan, an eastern Spanish native best known for its work in Mediterranean France, this assertive cuvée is perhaps a bit softer-spoken than Maius’s Grenache-centric fare, layering luscious black & red fruit, a deep mahogany mystique, and firm, balanced tannins. Maius, as it exists today, emerged at the dawn of Priorat’s premillennial launch onto the world stage from the Gomez family’s long-standing retail wine endeavors.
Serving Suggestions: Marbled steak w/ cassis-shallot gastrique & baby asaparagus w/ pine nuts. Hickory-smoked jackfruit BBQ.
