The 2010 Crossos is a blend of 60% Garnacha, 20% Carinena and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in five- and six-year-old barrels over six months. It has a light but clean bouquet with dark plum and mulberry fruit, while the medium-bodied palate has crisp, tensile tannins and attractive, simple plum and dark cherry flavors. There is fine crispness and tension towards the finish, and overall this constitutes a crisp, taut, entry-level Priorat. Drink now-2018. The winery, Clos Galena, is the result of university lecturer and oenologist Miguel Perez Cerrada’s passion for Priorat. His winery is based in El Molar and he farms 11 hectares of organically farmed vines that once belonged to the Carthusian monks of the Scala Dei priory. Theirs was an impressive line-up of well-crafted Priorat wines. Importers: Steve Miles Selections, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 495-3811
