Dia Bonito Threemile Vineyard Albariño 2023

Dia Bonita Albariño, Three Mile Vineyard, Columbia Valley AVA. 23 cases produced, barrel fermented, micro producer worth watching for Washington-state and Oregon-grown Spanish varieties like Albariño and Tempranillo. This is made like a high-end Chardonnay- fruity, crisp but softened via malolactic fermentation. Finish of floral, citrus, orchard fruit flavors with some minerality. — 18 days ago

Lisboa Bonita Castelão Blend 2020

This is such a great wine!! I’m so impressed. Wasn’t expecting much out of it, but thoroughly wowed me. Super smooth and easy to drink - beautiful, soft notes, fruit, subtle hints of floral.  one of the best random picks I’ve had in a long time  — 2 months ago

Bonsai Öregtőkés Kadarka 2017

Alder Yarrow
9.4

I happen to think that Kadarka, a Hungarian grape that few have heard of, is one of the most interesting wine grapes around. Similar to Trousseau or Poulssard in weight and finesse, it’s totally delicious. This one is made from gnarled, 100-year-old vines (hence the name) whose delicate fruit is fermented and aged in steel. Aromas of dried flowers and red currant give way to dried herbs, strawberry and cherry flavors with notes of dried fennel seed in the finish. Juicy and bright and a mere 13% alcohol. — 4 years ago

Biografico Tempranillo 2020

Nose of baby diapers and band aids. And I like it!! Deep purple with a lot of funkiness. Lightly tannic. Would like a bit more fruit, but still like it. — 2 years ago

I’m not a Tempranillo fan generally. But it’s not as bad as Malbec at least.
