If I Could Buy Only One – February 7th Vintages Release
We asked our writers,“If you could buy only one wine from the February 7th release, which one would it be and why?”
Poboleda Bon Mas 2020, Priorat, Spain
$27.95, Profile Wine Group (Du Chasse)
Megha Jandhyala – At less than $30, the Poboleda Bon Mas is a delicious introduction to both the region and the well-known winery from which it comes. A few years ago, I visited Mas Doix in Priorat and tasted some exquisite wines in their stunning tasting room. Looking out over the dramatic, stony landscape of this renowned Spanish region (one of only two to have the DOCa designation, a step up from DOC) I was struck by how inhospitable the terrain is. That vintners coax gorgeous wines from this land is something that is both improbable and inspiring. The Poboleda is an opportunity to experience the fruits of this “heroic winemaking”. It is also a chance to taste a delightful grenache. I love how lush yet fresh it is, with notes of supple red fruit, herbs, and pepper. It is ready to enjoy but can also be cellared for a couple of years, and I plan to grab a few bottles of this wine for my cellar!
