Celler Vinos Pinol was founded in 1945 and today is led by the fourth generation of the family. The estate owns 100 acres in the town of Batea in the Terra Alta DO located just a few miles from Priorat and is a desert like, harsh environment where most of the vines are old bush low yielding types. Powerful, intense and great value are their characteristics. Well worth trying as they drink like $40-$50 wines.
"50% garnacha, 20% syrah and 10% each of carinena, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Vivid ruby. Powerfully aromatic, sexy bouquet of raspberry, Asian spices and smoky minerals. Juicy red and dark berry flavors are energized by nervy acidity and framed by supple tannins. Spiciness builds with air and carries through the long, silky finish." S.Tanzer
