I recall loving Roberto Henriquez’ Rivera del Notro white, but his 2018 País just blew my mind. After all, he is one of Chile's most promising young winemakers and largely responsible (alongside Luyt) for the resurgence of Pipeño, a derogatory slang for peasant wine generally made with the local País or Mission grape. Grapes for this wine were sourced from 200-year-old vines in Nacimiento, in the Bio Bio region, about 300 miles south of Santiago. Light-bodied, elegant and super drinkable 😋 — 4 years ago

2012 Liquid Farm "golden slope" Chardonnay - simply brilliant. Love the Cali chard resurgence. — 10 years ago

Drinking beautifully. Why wait even though this will go another decade. The first of the resurgence vintages at BV. Well done and worth the $90 you may find it for — 6 years ago

The resurgence of the rose continues. Very drinkable, very flexible, dry but not so much as to make a point. Balanced. — 8 years ago

Cabernet Franc is currently enjoying a resurgence in popularity as a varietal wine, and this is an exemplary effort. Dark ruby in color, the tannic structure is medium, and the cherry and blueberry fruits really shine through. The finish manages to be both slightly sweet and a touch tart. I recommend chilling and then decanting for perhaps an hour. — 8 years ago

Incredible balance, very sweet with good acidity. Fruity, aromatics, complexity. First Spanish wine served at a Nobel Prize Dinner. Leader in the resurgence of Malaga as a pre-eminent winemaking region. — 9 years ago
