For a varietal that leans to higher extraction this was restrained. Vibrant. Carried on for hours. — 7 months ago
Raul Perez is a bit of a wine rock star, so I admittedly came to this 17$ entry level new project of his (with the Prieto varietal) with baited breath…& it did not disappoint. It drinks like…surprise.. a baby Morgon, with clean red cherries set in a fairly mineral frame. Quite lush on the nose. Not for acid hounds per se but still so vital & fresh. — 2 years ago
Delicious. Very hearty without too much tanin. Just a nicely balanced. — a month ago
First wine from Raul Pérez, first Godello (I think)...
What a wine!
The nose is made of lemon peel, white pear, white flowers, almond milk... The palate is very well made with a strong acid drive, making the wine fresh and dynamic. There is a good width, some peary notes all along, a bid wide, spherical mid palate, and a long, powerful and everlasting finish with pear, lemon peel notes that goes for ever and bit. Wow what a wine! I love it! — 6 months ago
Such an amazing wine, I feel the Chablis comments are right on, but the touch of reductive notes gives it the depth of a well aged wine from a perfect vintage — 7 months ago
Unique amber nectar that aged amazingly - paired with Portuguese clams and shrimp risotto. — 10 months ago
Blown away that I am enjoying this wine so much! James Suckling gave it a 91. Randon grocery/wine store pick for $15. QPR considered in rating; fully expected this to be tight as a drum. Right Bank blend, ripe tannins, boysenberry, bing cherries, plum, soft baking spices, eucalyptus and oddly enough am picking up maple syrup! Little surprised at the 14.5 alc! — 2 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over lunch at Buvette. Deep ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some slight signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of funky-fresh tart cherries, some horse stable, blackberries, pomegranate, river rocks. On the palate the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with some grippy minerals. Lovely with lunch! Drink now through 2032. — 2 days ago
