That’s when we discovered the Vall Llach Embruix Priorat, the “undiscovered gem” from the Priorat region. Undiscovered? No. Sold out? Likely. Mostly grenache and cabernet, this is an another affordable back door into priorat. “Bewitching” blackberries and mature red fruit on the nose, with a brambly minerality and enough acidity to get us through the pau amb tomate and iberian ham that eventually arrives at the table. The vineyard is owned by popular Catalan singer Lluis Llach, who is apparently a great wine lover. This wine alone was enough to justify a $9.99 iTunes download of his “Les Seves Primeres Cancons.” Try the two together, on some soggy winter day, and smell the Costa Brava.
