I've recently had several wines from this region recommended to me, so I thought I would give it a shot.
I'm happy to say that I wasn't disappointed.
La Conreria, 2009**
Varietal, Region: Garnacha, Priorat, Spain
Store, Neighborhood: Total Wine, Sterling, VA
Price: $19.99
My Tasting Notes: Intense yet well balanced, smooth, nice finish, notes of blackberry and mocha
My Verdict: This is a 90 point wine (so says Wine Advocate.) I've always been a bit skeptical of wine ratings, since taste is obviously subjective, but in this case, Wine Advocate definitely got it right. I cant wait to try other wines from this region! This wine was fantastic!

Tip- Total Wine had about 5 or 6 different bottles from the Priorat region but generally, these wines aren't easy to find...I've heard they are carried in Adams Morgan and Georgetown. I'll do some research and report back...
