Nice fruity, rustic wine. Tastes like a local village wine. Fresh and fun, and good with Manchego cheese. What Monsignor Quixote would have had on the road. — 2 years ago
Smoky caramel-mocha nose shows broom straw and bamboo, vanilla bean, graphite, tea biscuit, cardamom, cinnamon-apple, attic nutmeg and cilantro. Rich and chocolate-y mouthfeel with warm cinnamon heat is exemplary. First taste puts the dully oaken nose to shame for insufficient suggestion. This thing brings a support beam of heavy oak in abundance. Cedar, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, tobacco; the gangs all here. Coffee is the magnet in the middle; two sugars, black, a millisecond before the heavy cream and drizzled caramel. Buckwheat, buckthorn, and dried pineapple are the lightning in this dark storm. Add ginger and dried lime and a drop of Fernet Branca and you’ve nailed it. Don Quixote used to nip this for breakfast. #brandy #cardinalmendoza #spanishbrandy #brandydejerez #soleragranreserva #jerez #sanchezromatehermanos #sanchezromate #grapespirit — 4 years ago

Its the Las Antenas singular 🌵 👌💪🏻 real tequila, no diffuser or additives like over hyped Casa Amigos & Casa Dragones,
The follow up to the unbelievable first batch of Huerta Singular, the Las Antenas highlights a completely different terroir with the same goal of creating a completely unique example of blanco tequila. The over-ripe pinto Blue Weber agave for this batch was grown entirely in the mineral-laden caliche soils of Vista Hermosa in Michoacán. The ground is rich in calcium carbonate at the high elevation field. At just over 5,000 feet in elevation, the agave was left to ripen in the field after the quixote was cut, resulting in an ultra-ripe "pinto" or painted agave—the pencas discolor as the plant concentrates sugars in the pina. The resulting spirit is one of the most unique expressions of tequila we've ever stocked. Bold mineral character is coupled with tangy citrus peel and vibrant fresh herbs. A truly legendary addition to the Single Huerta line, which seeks to capture the flavors of one single field in the bottle. Distilled in 2018 and rested for two years before bottling at 44.8%. — 2 years ago

Incredibly approachable. Red fruited, nice acidity and fine-grained tannins. One of the favorites at a recent LA trade tasting — 8 months ago
Dark, tobacco, good depth, almond aromas, a little anise, not deep, but long finish. Really very good. — 4 years ago
