Blackberries, black currants, & cassis- yet still enough acid & freshness to think: not Malbec. But it is, from the far north in Argentina, past Salta. At 14.5% it’s balanced & delicious. Great concentration. Not goupy or flabby. Inky black. Brought back in my bags. Gives me hope… — 2 years ago

" surprisingly balanced, with cranberry and raspberry playing counterpoint to beets and fig. The noble savage. Only 6,000 bottles made." Augustin, the winemaker, opted for no oak, and had the wine spend a year in a concrete egg. Beautiful Malbec wine. — 2 years ago

"on the palate, this criolla feels familiar, a lighter red with the nose of dates, dried roses, and spice.". Beautiful drinkable lovely wine from Argentina — 3 years ago

The wine world is so incredibly vast, life’s too short to drink the same thing all the time. Let’s all drink adventurously, shall we? Here’s a great example. Ever heard of the grape Forastera Blanca? Not likely unless you’ve been to a tiny speck of an island off the Altlantic coast of North Africa, named La Gomera. The smallest of the Canary Islands, it is the homeland for this unusua grape that has been revived commercially by Mr. Agustín Farráis. These own-rooted 100-year-old vines yield a wine that smells of pear skin, sea air and dried yellow herbs. Flavors of crushed stone, sea air, citrus pith, and herbs linger with a faint struck-flint note in the finish, as if the wine, in the end wants to make sure you never forget the volcano. — 3 years ago
