Espelt Saulo 2008 – Wine Review
I have have seen this wine numerous times at my local liquor store tied to my Costco so I thought I would give it a try.
Espelt Sauló is a deliteful blend of 50% garnacha and 50% cariñena that delivers well beyond its $10.00 price. You will first notice that this wine has a lovely deep ruby color. I found hints of raspberry, cherry, pepper and an earthy quality that blends nicely together. This is without a doubt a great every day wine that will not break the budget.

Winery Notes
Although the Espelt family has been growing grapes for quite some time, it was not until 2000 that they began to produce wine. With over 500 acres of vineyards planted to a multitude of varieties, Espelt’s ultra modern winery is responsible for some of the greatest values in the region with a whimsical sensibility. Located Inside two National Parks in the ends of the Pyrenees, the land is characterized by strong northern winds, poor soils of slate and granite and very old vineyards planted as long ago as 1900.
