The 2013 Hisenda Miret Garnatxa has a nose of honey, pollen and beeswax that I associate with ripe Garnacha, over a core of berry fruit. The palate has fine tannins and flavors of raisins. It ends dry with a strict chalky minerality. But the fruit is a bit too ripe... 3,652 bottles.

The 2012 Hisenda Miret Garnatxa is a dark and concentrated Garnacha with dark berry aromas and some notes of graphite and tar. The palate shows great influence from the élevage and lacks a bit in the mid-palate. 4,000 bottles produced.

The 2011 Hisenda Miret is pure Garnacha from a 29-year-old vineyard at 400 meters altitude which aged in a mixture of new and used French oak barrels for five months. It is very ripe, perhaps this region is too warm for Garnacha. The nose reveals heady, jammy fruit, and pungent aromas of black licorice and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied, round and dense, with powerful, ripe flavors. Drink now-2017. All Pares Balta grapes are organically certified, and some vineyards are already cultivated following biodynamic principles. Importer: Broadbent Selections Inc., Richmond, VA; tel.
