The 2012 Cami Pesseroles comes from an old vineyard planted with Garnacha and Cariñena on the old dirt road from Gratallops to Porrera. I walked the two slopes facing each other, one north-facing and the other south-facing where you see the difference in vegetation and plant vigor according to exposition. Even though it is a majority of Priorat slate, not all slates are the same and here the slate is kind of yellow, while in Escurçons it is distinctly red. This is a powerful, dramatic wine, earthy and surprisingly with some of the citric Garnacha grape character that leaves it feeling more aromatic and fresh. The palate is quite dry, has abundant dusty tannins, moderate acidity and lacks a little in the mid-palate. Only 900 bottles were produced.
90 Wine Spectator
Cocoa, tar and sanguine notes frame plum and loamy earth flavors in this solid red. The tannins are firm and rather chewy, but balsamic acidity keeps this balanced. A deep, savory, slightly rustic style. Drink now through 2022. 15 cases imported.
Producer
Mas Martinet
Based in the wild Spanish region of Priorat, Mas Martinet is considered one of the best wineries in this high-quality DO. Home to 7 hectares of vineyards, planted on steep, terraced vineyards, the Pérez Ovejero family crafts impressively complex and structured wines. The family focuses on the cultivation of native grape varietals, like Garnacha and Cariñena, as well as international varieties, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Sara Pérez is now at helm and continues to amaze wine critics with her simple, authentic Priorat wines. The estate produces a handful of wines, including their eponymously named Clos Martinet, which is a rich, elegant blend of Garnacha, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cariñena, as well as, their deep Cami Pesseroles, which is a blend of old-vine Garnacha and Cariñena.
