Papa's Syrah 2016
Very nice syrah. Well balanced, nice lingering finish. Lots of fruit on the nose. Fruit forward in the pallet. Although high in alcohol it doesn't drink that way. It isn't hot in the least. — 3 years ago

Lagar de Sabariz
A Pita Cega Abariño Blend 2015
Flagship white by the amazing Pilar Higuero, one of Spain’s most exciting proponents of biodynamic farming and the unofficial “lideresa” (leader) of the Spanish vignerons association “Artisan Wine Attraction.” The wine is named after the traditional children’s game “a pita cega” (“blindman’s buff” in English, literally “the blind hen” in Galician language) and the tools used to clean up vineyards in this spectacular biodynamic farm: a flock of chicken (Her red wine labels, on the other hand, feature the sheep used to graze and fertilize soils). Blend of mostly Albariño, Treixadura and other indigenous varieties, fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged on its lees for 20 months. Very expressive, complex nose with aromas of apples, white fruit, fennel, floral notes and minerals. Medium to full bodied, round, sumptuous on the palate. Lively, fresh, vibrant, good acidity. Amazing wine ⚡️ — 3 years ago

Red Blend
Paired with pork and still delicious. A robust finish came late and hits clean up with this wine and I wasn’t mad about it — 7 years ago

A tiny bit of Brett on the nose, that blows away after a while. Strawberry, violet, a bit of soy sauce too. The wine is pretty light in colour, you can easily see your hand through it. The palate is delicious! It's a tangy red and black forest fruits bomb, complementing a strong acid drive. There is some width and a nice and soft mouthfeel that turns to a good tannic wall in the rear, but it's not overpowering, everything is in balance. There is a blood orange note in the finish, and a tiny salty touch, too that makes it very interesting to sip on. Moderately long finish. This screams low intervention but it is super well made. Thumbs up! — 6 months ago
