The 2012 Nas del Gegant is an unoaked blend of Garnacha, Carinena, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from a warm vintage but has a fresh herbaceous nose with hints of fresh herbs, red and black fruit and a light to medium-bodied palate with pure and clean flavors of raspberry leaf, quite pungent and long. I think bottling this kind of wine young works well. There were 8,000 bottles produced. Drink now-2017. Joan Ramon Escoda started this project in 2003 and has 8.5 hectares of vineyards in Conca de Barbera. His wines are produced in the “natural” style, without addition of sulfur. As is often the case I find that whites behave better in this style. Importer: Vin de Terra Imports, Springfield, VA; tel. (703) 731-2058
