Montsant, considered by many to be the "baby" Priorat (ie, similar style wines at much lower price points), is value central! This taut, linear, and leathery blend based on the native Spanish grape Mazuelo, is packed with concentrated blackberry, wild blueberry, and roasted plum skin flavors, and ends with a smoky finish.
