From a north-facing slope from Conca de Barbera, a sub-appellation of Priorat and Montsant, the remarkable 2013 Cara Nord is a joint venture between Eric Solomon, Tomas Cusine and Xavier Cepero. Composed of 42% Garnacha, 38% Syrah and 20% Garrut (an indigenous varietal), this wine was fermented and aged six months in French oak. A fabulous nose of spring flowers, blue, red and black fruits and wet rocks/gravel is followed by an elegant, medium to full-bodied, fruit-laden, personality-filled wine ... This beauty can be enjoyed now and over the next several years. Score - 91. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, June 2014)
