I had been blowing off this area by in large, until a relatively inexpensive bottle blew me out of the water last weekend. From the Maury appellation in Cotes de Roussillon Villages, i believe it is mostly old vine carignan, grown on schisty soil, which in essence sounds a lot like priorat. No wonder i liked it. In fact the wine reminded me of a cross between priorat and napa cab.
