Celler de Capçanes Montsant Mas Donís Barrica 2004

90 pt wine on wine.com. got it for 19.99 Amazingly smooth. Excellent. Still need to try with food. Lots of black cherry.

Full bodied with layers of spice and fruit, blackberries and blueberries. Good alternative to Cote du Rhone. Excellent value and easily pairs with a wide range of foods.

Deep purple color. I got rich strawberry with even a little hint of peppermint on the finish. Had a nice bite to it. YUM

I really love this wine, and I love the price even more. This was a staple until the 04 vintage ran out at my local wine store. There are plenty of flavor descriptions here for the 04, so I'll just say that I had great luck with this vintage, not just personally but with friends. The bottle presentation is very nice, and the litany of aromas and flavors impresses guests. I do wish it had a real cork closure, but for the price, I understand. I would rather see a screw top over a rubber cork, I just haven't warmed up to them. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the 05 nearly as much. I bought a few bottles when it was released and just found it a little dull, nothing offensive I can even put my finger on, its just not as lively as the 04.

Possibly the best value on the market year after year. These old vine blends coming out of Spain are awesome deals and exhibit a quality and craftsmanship comparable to(often better than) the Rhone's best.

A very good daily wine with no pretensions and much better than most wines in this price category. Actually more drinkable than the more complex 2005 vintage. Worth getting a case if you like Grenache. Not too new worldy like the 2005. Think of a nice house wine with Tapas in a dive in Madrid and this fits the bill.
