Capcanes Peraj Ha'abib Flor de Primavera
Winery: Cellar de Capcanes Year: 2003 Type: Red Country: Spain (Montsant in the province of Tarragona along the Mediterranean coast south and west of Barcelona) Grape Variety: Garnacha, Carinena, Cabernet Sauvignon Note: Alcohol: 14.5% Mevushal: No Date Reviewed: 10/15/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A very nice garnet color. Heavy legs on the glass and the look of a lot of body.
Aroma: 6 (of 7) Note: Powerful aroma's of ripe berries and spices. It's very similar to a Syrah.
Taste: 8.5 (of 10) Note: Dry with strong, biting tannins that pack a punch. It's loaded with ripe berry flavors of raspberry and blackberry along with oak, pepper and spices. If you think a Syrah is just a bit too spicy, you'll enjoy the zestiness of this wine with its softer spice flavor. Very long dry finish.
Total: 17 (of 20)
Food: I had this with flounder fillets baked in a spicy cajun sauce. This is another example of matching the wine to the sauce. This is a fish and red wine combination that really works because the wine compliments the cajun spices in the sauce so well.
