Like the 2014, a blast of stones and acids but with great depth and mature white fruits tinged with bits of oiliness that tangles on palate. Terrific nose and texture and finish. Wow. Didn’t quite match the Deiss Berg for the seafood pairing however. Wilson dinner 11/15/21. — 2 years ago

The Beronia Rioja Reserva is a dark garnet in the glass, with a nose of black cherries and plums, abetted by leather, vanilla and a nice oak spice. The palate is rustic and savory, age showing already. Black fruit tangles with tobacco and earth notes. There’s a good tannic structure and a lengthy, savory finish. Pair it with pork, sausages and Manchego cheese. — 5 years ago

Light gold with hint of green. Green apple, underripe pineapple, canteloup, lemon & lime with crisp tangles over the tongue. Minerality overdrive sweet Kabinett. — 9 years ago

Wow. A little preview of the vertical we have acquired. Dark cherries. Light tannins. Buttery smooth finish. Sad to know the wine maker has sold this vinyard. — 9 years ago
