Cherry, Rasberry, Blackberry, hints of vanilla and balsamic with a smoky touch. Fresh acidity and fluid, but firm, tanins tobgo with a mid to long finish. Enjoy now or keep for another two years. — 9 years ago

Una mezcla de elementos muy interesante. Por interesante no nos referimos a la complejidad de la cata, sino al proceso del vino. La cata, por cierto, es bastante simple; tiene aromas bastante fáciles de descifrar como fruto rojo, higo, torrefacción en ahumado y tostado (comúnmente descrito como "maderita") y especias dulces (clavos, canela).
Ahora volviendo a lo interesante; un blend de Sangiovese, Malbec, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon envejecido en Barriles Húngaros y Franceses que luego de todo ese trabajo cierran la botella con un tapón de rosca. Por alrededor de $20 hay que probarlo y si decidieran cambiar el tapón de rosca a corcho (que definitivamente le convendría) hay que darle un tiempito y degustarlo nuevamente. Aclaro que no tengo nada en contra de la rosca; entiendo que el enólogo nos esta diciendo "tómalo ahora, tal como está que esta es la receta que quiero que pruebes". Inténtalo con una pasta sencilla de salsa roja o una Pizza combinación. — 9 years ago

Red fruit, cherry and rasberry amd a hint of vanilla on first nose; ripe plum and intense vanilla after a swirl. Smooth on the mouth as expected form a granache; great representation on the fruits and region. Great value for the money at right around $16. — 9 years ago

Dark fruit; plum, blueberry, blackberry. Hints of vanilla, tobacco and lots of licorice. Balanced on the mouth with firm tannins. Nice finish. Enjoyable now but could hold another couple of years. — 9 years ago

Great on the nose; plum blackberry and a hint of balsamic. After a spin sweet, honey, flowers and ripe plum... but that is it; not as fancy on the mouth, dies off quickly and cant handle oxygen. — 9 years ago

Fruity first nose with black cherry and some rasberry (bubble gummy to a certain degree). Lots of terroir on its secondary and a hint of spices; is that star anise? Nice balance and finish. I'm glad I tried it but I'm not sure I'll go back to it again. — 9 years ago

Very good representation of both Ribera and Tempranillo. Aromas a bit shy at first but come along as the wine stands (at least the 2010). Flavors are present from the get go. Very well balanced and all around smooth. — 9 years ago

9.3

Dark ripe fruit, plum, fig, vanilla and maple syrup all present from the very beginning; after a swirl they all intensify and even when terroir aromas kick in fruit remains ahead of the rest and leads the way to a silky, flavorful, balanced taste of this awesome Malbec. Retro nasal brings in sweet spices; cloves and cinnamon along with a very long finish. — 9 years ago

Black Coyote Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Napa Valley USA... Aromas de especias y torrefacción desde su primera nariz; canela, caramelo y placentera vainilla que evolucionan a algo de regaliz y anis estrellado con un elemento de fruta oscura madura; ciruela e higo. En boca un ataque placentero (muy placentero) con una presencia de alcohol y acidez en perfecto equilibrio. Lo llevamos al area retro nasal para recibir aromas de clavo y un post gusto largo que nos invita a disfrutar lentamente de esta singular experiencia y a pasar por el ejercicio de degustación en cada sorbo para ver que otra sorpresa nos traerá El Coyote.

Complex and tasty... A great Chardonnay! Shows its Oak right away but stay calm and give it a chance; its not wood juice. Nice complex nose but very difficult to detect its fruit; is it peach? Is it pear? Lots of roast and toast; almonds, bread. A malolactic fermentation is evident which really turns down the acidity and brings out the flavors. — 9 years ago
