2010 Black Slate "La Vilella Alta" Priorat
Winestore Price: $19.99 (net) per bottle
Only 30 cases available
Any time Charlotte based wine importer Eric Solomon creates a new project we pay close attention. When he creates it with winemaking wizard Phillipe Cambie we pay double close attention. When famed Priorat winery Mas Alta is involved we pay triple close attention. So when wine critic Robert Parker jumps on the bandwagon and goes bananas for this stuff things start to get out of hand. Parker recently tasted with Solomon and stated:
"The following tasting, which was done in April, 2012, was one of the greatest "value" tastings, if not the greatest, I have done in my 30+ years in the business."
His tasting note on La Viella Alta came with one interesting remark:
"Priorat wines such as this normally sell for over $100+ per bottle"
We've been loving on the Black Slate wines for some time, but we just want to make sure you get to try this one - it is pretty awesome juice for $20.
So ignore the hype if you want...all we know is we're buying cases for ourselves, and we think you should too!
Happy 4th of July!
