Parmí, La Coma
(lah koh-MAH)

 

Tasting Notes: Every once in a while, we are lucky enough to taste a wine that leaves us speechless. La Coma, the flagship wine of the estate, is just such a wine. Named for the daughter of owners Michele and Giovanna, it is an exceedingly rare bottling of 100% Carignan from Priorat, from vines 110+ years old. The minerality and cleanliness of this wine are almost too much to bear– one sip animates the mouth for 15 or 20 minutes, lingering, hinting, inspiring. With notes of brandy-soaked cherries, black plum, coffee beans, and mesquite.
