Gran Viu Finca Santiaga Garnacha Blend 2004

Not a bad wine. No idea where or when I bought it. Some refreshing tartness. Not a high end wine, but pleasant to drink — 4 months ago

Pulchrum Cariñena Crespiello 2012

So when you first read anything about this wine the words “rare” and “almost extinct” keep popping up everywhere you go. So whenever I had a chance to try this varietal I leapt at the opportunity. An interesting nose, earthy and leathery with some dusty/musty odors. Made me think of a library. For a wine that supposed to be tanin heavy and historically was only regarded for making vinegar it has a remarkably smooth taste. It comes off bold and brassy with ripe jam plum notes with some flavors of raisins. The wine hits you mid tongue and goes all the way back. You can feel the fullness and the structure of the tannins, but fortunately they don’t come across as bitter. Reminds me of a balsamic-port reduction. Flavor is strong and heavy throughout and even though it doesn’t feel hot and heavy with alcohol on the tongue you definitely can feel it going down your chest as you swallow. 100% Vidadillo from vineyards planted in 1910. 24 months in French and American oak. Very fun to try what is basically a dinosaur of a grape that used to be used for other things, hopefully these “forgotten“ grape varieties will start making a comeback. — 5 years ago

Menguante Cariñena Vidadillo 2012

Beautiful dark burgundy color. Get raisins, red hot balls ( remember those when u were a kid?). and nuts in the nose. Gorgeous mouthfeel. Liquid velvet. Nice acidity. I am really impressed with this! — 8 years ago

I think I had one of these in Houston several years ago.
