Wine of the Week

The Priorato region south of Barcelona keeps coming on strong with luscious reds like this one, primarily old vine Grenache with some Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Full and round, with plummy dark fruit and a scent of caramel and chocolate, it’s an opulent, deep-toned wine of world-class quality.

About $42. Available at Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, (949) 650-8463; Wine Exchange in Orange, (714) 974-1454; Woodland Hills Wine Co. in Woodland Hills, (818) 222-1111; Wine House in Los Angeles, (310) 479-3731; and Beverage Warehouse in Marina del Rey, (310) 306-2822.
