Vinicola del Priorat 2006 Priorat “Onix Classic”

We first sampled a different vintage of this wine at a charming restaurant in Priorat during our 2008 school trip to the region. Since then, we’ve been loyal fans of this spectacularly priced Priorat ($15.99!) that offers all the minerality you’d expect from the region alongside a drinkable-on-its-own sense of fruit that pretty much guarantees a bottle per person will be necessary at dinner.
