FAMILIA TORRES MAS LA PLANA 2019

Torres' iconic Mas La Plana showcases the distinctive terroir of Penedès, where deep, well-drained alluvial soils of gravel, sand, and clay nurture exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. This historic vineyard—which stunned the wine world by defeating renowned Châteaux Latour at the 1979 Gault-Millau Wine Olympics—produces a remarkable expression from 2019's warm, dry vintage. The palate unfolds with concentrated black plum, juicy blackberry, and baked cherry flavors, while sophisticated notes of sandalwood, star anise, and fresh earth create intriguing complexity. With perfectly sculpted tannins, vibrant acidity, and masterful 18-month oak aging, this full-bodied red delivers both immediate pleasure and impressive cellaring potential.
