100% Cenin Blanc from Finca La Carrodilla in Baja Mexico. While not a particular white wine lover, I found this bottle savory, not too fruity, round and with a deep flavor. A good vhoice! — 10 years ago

Nice Sauvignon Blanc to go with fish, pasta and light meats. Yes, you'll find that sweet, demi sec flavor, but in this case w/o the after taste. Try a glass as entreé before shooting for the indispensanle red. — 10 years ago

Fantástivo vino, redondo, tanino medio pero gran cuerpo, muy astringente, tonos de cereza, madera húmeda, y una nota de yogurt; con un gran final, cerrando firme con base y sin acidez. Listo para convertirse en un favorito en cualquier reunión. Una ventaja adicional: también presenta gran costo-beneficio precio-calidad.

Fantastic wine, superb balance despite the young year: body, flavor & very young acidity. Drink it now and enjoy or keep it a couple of years and be the envy of the pack! — 10 years ago

A most greatful surprise from Rioja. A very balanced blend of tempranillo. Not as strong as you might expect, without demerit to flavour & balance. Good dry aroma, on the cherish/chocolate side. Balanced body, round, not heavy, friendly to most preferences. Easy to go with general food. Low acidity. Try it! — 10 years ago

A nice Tempranillo Shiraz & Cab blend from an organic estate in Valle de Guadalupe Mexico, fantastic estate run by great people. This bottle is a very good blend, deep mineral flavor, low acidity, notes of wood and cherry, a bit of sweet and risemary. Loved it! — 10 years ago

This is NOT a white blend, it is a coupage of carignan (80) & grenache (20). Very well paired, with a good body, balanced acidity and rather strong flavor. Probably better with a meal, one of two premium wines of Alximia in Baja Mexico. — 10 years ago

Superb wine, not pretentious. Not on the dry side, more on the frutish side, but sober. Astringenic, round, and with strong body. Try it as a fantastic entry bottle. An everybody favorite, easy to love. — 10 years ago
