Envinate

Albahra Garnacha Tintorera 2019

First drink since finishing an antibiotic course and awaiting my root canal in a few weeks. This is zippy fresh but has enough of a bass note- it reminds of some of the amphorae matured trepat I’ve tried-so I stay interested. Also doesn’t shout summer wine. Blackberries, & compote, good balance between fruit & dry. Nicely done for about 19$. Jose Pastor importer — 4 years ago

Viña Almate Tempranillo 2019

From Castilla Y Leon, & at 14.5% abv, not something that typically attracts me. But the importer Pastor brings in great sherries, so down the rabbit hole I went. Glad I went. Pours an inky black, with integrated blackberries & cassis on nose & on palate. Fills up the mouth but in balance- like Juan Gil, does not drink big or taste out of balance. If anything, tastes more like a black fruited Chinon, especially with a fine graininess to its texture. Had with harissa chicken & quinoa. — 2 years ago

You have probably tried Jerome Prevost, but if you haven’t he has a cuvée which is pretty much straight Pinot Meunière.

@Bob McDonald most definitely Jerome Prevost is indeed one of my favourite, perthe the one on pinot meunier. But I also was thinking intensely of Guillaume Sergent, not much seen, but absolutely excellent

I Pentri

Flora Beneventano Falanghina 2019

Have yet to taste a bad vintage of this. Deep straw or gold in the glass. Highly aromatic. Pineapple, baked apricot, and honey. Bold with firm acidic structure. Fruit, minerality, and backbone. Screaming for Al Pastor tacos. — 2 years ago
