Not too sweet Riesling, Mendoza lunch 2023 — 2 years ago
This wine is dark garnet in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, plum, and cassis grace the nose, along with some oak spice. The palate has plenty of dark fruit, a savory edge, and very firm tannins. It pairs nicely with any kind of beef, especially a steak with lots of fat. I also tried it with a spicy pasta dish, but I found that the tannins fought with the spice a little too much. Beef that has been salted and peppered is the better choice. — a month ago

Capa alta y lagrima densa. Nariz floral: violetas. En boca se notan los 30 meses de barrica: madera y brandy. Frutas maduras que ofrecen un final largo y muy agradable. Necesita su tiempo para abrirse completamente. Una gran RCP para este vino. Lo conseguí a 7€ de oferta en Vinoseleccion. Su precio en bodega ronda los 13€ — a year ago
Sangiovese, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah.
Easy drinking, plenty of red fruit, nice tannin structure from Cab. Tannins could mellow a few months more, but totally approachable now, mid-weight tannin. Being from one of my favorite regions, I find it hard to hold onto wines for long. — 3 years ago
Medium ruby in color; raspberries, stewed strawberries, and smoke on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blood oranges, hibiscus, asphalt with a long finish. Needs a long decant. It starts out reductive. Nellie says it's ok and I like it. — a month ago
I asked the Somm to recommend a wine from Andalusia to pair with the region’s cuisines. Without hesitation, he picked out this bottle from a winery based in Ronda, a town I visited more than 10 years ago and have vivid memories of.
This is the flagship bottling of the winery with 100% Petit Verdot aged 12 months in clay amphorae.
It’s rich and savory just like to cuisine, and also has the lively acidity and aromatic intensity to counter those richness. What a great pairing! — 2 months ago
Diferente a un rosado clásico, sin acidez, con cuerpo y recuerdo. Fresa y frambuesa.

Even better than the crazy-good 2007, the 2015 La Sangre de Jonata is sheer perfection in a glass and up with the finest Syrahs ever made in California! Checking in as a blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier, aged in barrel, its saturated purple color is followed by out of this world aromatics black raspberries, smoked earth, graphite, game, violets and freshly crushed rock-like minerality. — 15 days ago
