It’s a low alcohol cab at 12.9% closer to a Bordeaux. Very nice fruit and the tannins complement the finish. Great winery to visit. — a year ago

There are so many marketing lies to this wine, I don’t even know where to begin. That it’s 95% #Garnacha from vines older than 30 years old! Lie. It sells for 10-11€ in #Spain and then it says that it’s fermented with active yeasts and it’s organic. Okay. Right. They make almost 700k bottles of this wine. Organic treatments and products aren’t cheap. 30+ Old Garnacha needs to be hand-harvested and that’s not cheap. I don’t know anyone spontaneously fermenting more than a half-a-million bottles of anything it’s super risky and then the guy makes it seems like a single vineyard wine because he puts ‘Monte Yerga’ and ‘La Montesa’ but it actually comes from multiple vineyards from 90 hectares! 14% alcohol ? Really Garnacha? From Alfaro? There’s no way in hell. Or he’s adding water or he’s using reverse osmosis which also adds a water-alcohol solution. There’s no way this wine is naturally fermented to 14%! But no way. Then on his description he says ‘Atlantic Influences’!!! There aren’t any Atlantic influences in #riojaoriental #bullshit #marketing — 4 years ago

Scrumptious with marinara over pasta and meatballs!! Beautiful dark plum color, Dark berries on the nose, smoky and peppery on the palate. Nice zing in the back of the throat. I will always have this in the house, from now on; it’s that good. — 10 months ago

13.5%. Quite fruit driven. But oh so much fun to drink. Raspberry, mostly touch tannic. Good acidity - seems to me little or no oak. Lush. Light. Drink now. Not a wine for the ages. — 16 days ago
