Ferrer Bobet Red Blend- 2016
This is an impressive wine by anyone’s standards!
This intriguing blend of 50% Carignane, 25% Grenache, 16% Syrah and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and most definitely has that immediate appeal factor that is most desirable in a wine. I should also mention at this point, it won the Gran Vinari d’Or 2019, Catalonia’s most important wine award.
The blend led by Carignane, which is originally a Spanish variety, that just happens to be the most widely planted grape in France, still has a reputation of a workhorse and a blending grape. A little preparation is needed in the form of an hour decanting before tackling. This will definitely enhance your enjoyment level.
The nose is all blackberries and dark cherries which dominates the palate as well. Silky soft mouthfeel is immediately evident with the depth and complexity wrapped in fine grained tannins revealing itself by the second sip. Exceptional length with subtle spices on the finish. This really is an impressive wine! Absolute delight to drink.
It’s no wonder the original price tag is $53 at the winery and received a score of 97 pt. from James Suckling.
