"The dedication of proprietor Daphne Glorian and her husband, importer Eric Solomon, is evident in the creation of Laurel, the second wine of Clos Erasmus. A blend of 55% Grenache, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Syrah, the superb, deep ruby/purple-tinged 2003 Laurel exhibits sweet aromas of blackberries, cassis, licorice, crushed rocks, and toasty wood. With superb purity, round, sweet tannin, and an opulent, plush finish . . ."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
A rugged Catalan region whose steep llicorella slate slopes produce dense, mineral Garnacha and Carinena. Low yields and old vines give wines of great intensity and concentration.
One of only two wines with Spain's top DOQ status, yielding dense, mineral Garnacha and Carinena from steep slate slopes.
