This old-vine Grenache is unique and surprising, with its touch of lilac and currant on the nose, followed by full-bodied, lush berry and currant flavors. It’s tannic and needs to age, but should develop into a velvety, integrated treat with a few years on it. One of the better kosher wines on the market.

Pure Garnacha, which is anathema in the region. Savory on the nose, with roasted meat and spice notes as much as fruit. Once it hits the palate, however, the plum and berry flavors explode. Turns elegant as it opens, while retaining intensity. Flashy stuff. Imported by European Cellars.

At 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Garnacha and 15% Tempranillo, this is a bit like a Catalan super Tuscan. Unusual for the region because you can really pick up on the Cabernet component. Overall it’s spicy, with hints of tomato, herb and pepper along with textured dark fruit. Good for the money; drink now. Imported by European Cellars.

This wine is a custom cuvée made by Montsant’s trend-setting co-operative for American importer Eric Solomon. It’s a bit like a Côtes du Rhône, but with more color, dark fruit and body. And it displays some of the region’s patented terroir, meaning it has that graphite-schist quality along with peppery notes. Imported by European Cellars.
