Product Overview
Cellars Can Blau’s Montsant Red Blend 2017 is a masterclass in Spanish winemaking excellence, crafted from a meticulous 35% Mazuelo, 35% Syrah, and 30% Garnacha grape mix. Hailing from Spain’s Montsant region—a rising star known for its rugged terroir—this wine delivers bold complexity with refined elegance. Recognized by Vinous with a prestigious 94-point score, it’s perfect for enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated yet approachable red that stands out among regional blends.

Appearance & Aroma
Pouring a deep dark cherry hue with garnet undertones, this wine captivates from first sight. On the nose, ripe red fruit aromas—think sun-kissed cherries and plums—mingle seamlessly with smoky vanilla and roasted spice notes, offering an aromatic intensity that lingers invitingly in the air.

Palate & Finish
The palate unfolds with lush boysenberry and Chambord flavors layered over a backbone of smoky minerality—a signature of Montsant’s unique soils—while hints of spicecake add warmth without overpowering balance. Sharp acidity cuts through its full-bodied richness, while round tannins ensure smoothness on the tongue. The finale is unforgettable: long-lasting and vibrant, blending concentrated fruit sweetness with a subtle floral whisper that sets it apart from neighboring Priorat or Rioja wines.

Why Choose This Blend?
At 15% alcohol content, this wine offers powerful depth ideal for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats or bold stews while remaining accessible for casual enjoyment. Its harmonious marriage of ripe fruit and roasted complexity makes it a standout choice for collectors or hosts looking to impress without sacrificing approachability.
