Brilliant ruby-red. A complex, expansive bouquet evokes red fruit preserves, smoky minerals, exotic spices and candied flowers that show excellent clarity. Sappy, alluringly sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry, cherry liqueur, spicecake flavors and a suave floral undertone. Plays richness off of energy adroitly and shows no rough edges. The mineral and spice notes drive an impressively long, sharply delineated finish that's framed by velvety, steadily mounting tannins. ... More details

The nose of the showy red 2016 La Serra Negre reminded me of wild blackberries and brambles, very fruit-driven, with an almost complete absence of oak notes. It's a blend of 60% Cariñena with 40% Garnacha from old vines. It's ripe and a little heady, clean and with a soft palate with moderate acidity. 3,000 bottles were filled in February 2018.

This plush red shows depth and focus, with black cherry and plum flavors deepened by loamy earth, cocoa and graphite notes. Features well-integrated tannins and just enough acidity for balance. Drink now through 2026. 28 cases imported.
Winery
The old Garnatxa and Carinyena vines at the La Serra estate produce powerful and concentrated grapes which create an intense wine packed with black fruit, such as ripe cherries, and a refreshing herbal sensation with notes of coffee and toffee. The freshness of old Carinyena embellished with mineral touches stands out in the mouth. A lively and deep wine.

Region: Cataluna

Spain's stunning coastal region of Catalunya has long since impressed the world with its wide range of excellent wines, the result of a wine history which stretches back to pre-Roman time, and it has been a key stopping point on some of the most ancient wine trade routes on earth. It isn't difficult to understand why Catalunya has had so much influence over the ages – the rich and fertile soils, the heat tempered by Mediterranean breezes, the fine grape varietals which flourish there have all helped establish Catalunya as an important global wine producer. Today, Catalunya is perhaps most famous for its 'methode champenoise' sparkling Cava wines, however, the region's soils support a wide range of grape varietals, and as such, the two hundred or so bodegas in the region produce a large variety of superb wines and wine styles.

Country: Spain

For over two thousand years, Spain has been responsible for much of Europe's wine production, making the very best of native grape varietals, and more recently experimenting with and perfecting wines made from imported grapes. Of course, the region of La Rioja is renowned world-wide for the quality and characteristics of its wines, which benefit greatly from the warm, dry continental climate of the area, and the fertile soils of the Ebro river basin. However, there is far more to Spanish produce than the complex, aromatic and earthy red wine of this region, as a result of the vast range of wine making traditions and practices, and terrains and climatic conditions found across the country. The region Castilla y Leon produces some of Europe's finest white wines, and the sparkling wines of Cava and the sherries of Jerez are firm favorites for wine lovers around the world.
