Plum, cocoa, raspberry, and subtle dust on the nose. Rich, yet dry. Notes of cocoa powder, ash, dried raspberry, unsweet dark chocolate, blackberry, subtle cranberry, tar, & earth. Medium body & tannins. Beautiful balance of fruit & wooly dryness; alcohol hides well; pairs wonderfully with food. — 15 days ago
Served with Fisherman’s Pasta - sablefish, mussels, saffron gnocchetti pasta, fennel, fresh baguette toast. If there is one thing constant about every Lopez de Heredia Blanco that I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying, it’s that they are never boring. The 2006 delivers on that with notes of dates, dried apricot, German candied nuts, marshmallows, cumin, dill and toasted coconut. Dry with fantastic acid and the texture is waxy. One of my favorite white wines on earth. Will probably live for another 20 years easy. — a month ago

For $19, a bargain. Robust all around but balanced. Long finish. Earthy. Dark and inky. Rich blackberry. Buy again. Better than other $30-40 riojas w more age. — 10 days ago
Much to be thankful for! This will be a blockbuster in a few years. Still drinking really young. Could easily go 25-30. — 13 days ago

Medium complexity. Needs ~three years in the cellar to unwind a bit but this is good juice. — 6 days ago
Beautiful Spanish maker of more than a century that may have the best price/value relationship of any winemaker. — 25 days ago

Would like to spend more time with one of these. Many Riesling use cases fly through the mind. Lees in clear focus. — 10 days ago
