2019 Domaine de L'Horizon 'Mar i Muntanya', IGP Cotes Catalanes, France
$26.99
L’Horizon’s “Mar y Muntanya” (“Sea and Mountains” in Catalan) combines 45% each Syrah and Carignan with a splash of Grenache, and it’s made partly in cement vats and partly in large oak barrels. This is a wine that shows adamantly just how distinct Calce is from the larger Languedoc-Roussillon region. Thomas employs semi-carbonic maceration to give this wine a certain lift and fruit-driven exuberance, though its easygoing vinification does nothing to hamper its expression of stoniness and garrigue-y depth.
