Bodegas Muga
Torre Muga Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2019
Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga Martínez, now run by Manuel, Isabel & Isaac Muga Caño. Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice, unmistakable Muga. 4 grape blend from the Haro district (70% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), palate shows cherry and currant flavors with espresso, vanilla & toasty oak tones. Soft full tannins, lively acidity on a medium+ finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Nice value! — 4 months ago

Had with Isabel during lunch at home. Strong with a spicy start, but not burning. Excellent. From San Antonio Chile! — a year ago

Domaine L'Oustal Blanc (Isabel et Claude Fonquerle)
K Vin de France Carignane
We tasted nine Minervois Red Blends (Languedoc region of France), an unknown AOC to our group. This was designated a “vin de table” because as a single-varietal, it did not conform to the Minervois arcane AOC rules. I loved it anyways — 5 months ago

Same notes from early 2023 apply. Pair this with a variety of Mediterranean fare and thank me later. This stuff is absolutely delicious.  — 2 months ago
