2021 vintage. Above the average, non lieu-dit expressions of of CDP rouge in terms of pricing. As for the performance? Bad-*ss spicy Grenache riding hard to set the tone. Big spice finish. Light-medium body. Needs air time but for those relatively unfazed/unafraid of tannins, PNP and rock on. Love this producer and the authenticity that shines through in the effort. 02.26.25. — 15 days ago

Same notes from early 2023 apply. Pair this with a variety of Mediterranean fare and thank me later. This stuff is absolutely delicious.  — 9 months ago

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 — a year ago

Hell yes. Raspberry nose. Red fruit overlayed with crushed dry rose, savory herbs, spicy black pepper, red licorice, assertive tannins and a delicate acidity. Unconventional but absolutely great Chateauneuf du Pape. Give it a lot of air, and drink it slowly over the course of an evening. With cheese ravioli and Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue. Divine. (Also not a blend, but 100% Grenache) — 5 months ago

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! Great vintage! — 9 months ago

Had with Isabel during lunch at home. Strong with a spicy start, but not burning. Excellent. From San Antonio Chile! — 2 years ago
