Bodegas Agronavarra

Agramont Graciano 2017

The wine poured a deep purple red. It had some flavors of dried red fruit initially. And it finishes with an earthy vegetable essence. There are nice tannins. The wine paired well with the New York grass fed steaks that we paired it with. As other reviewers have mentioned I don’t think it amounts to a 92 rating like wine enthusiast gave it. But for $6.40 at grocery warehouse, it’s a very good value. Supposedly it’s MSRP was $40, but like the wine enthusiast rating, I kind of question that.Nevertheless, I might pick some more up if I see it at grocery warehouse again. #grocerystorewine #redwine #spain #navarra — 10 months ago

Bodegas Akutain

Rioja Alta Tempranillo Blend 2018

Light and fruity with red cherry aromas and a little funk on the nose, dances on the palate with tart cherry and very balanced acid and tannins. Wants some roasted meat! Oaked vs Unoaked Rioja tasting - the unoaked one. #spain #wanderlust2022 — 4 years ago

#Viura or #Macabeo as it’s called in most parts of #Spain is a challenging grape to create excellent wine with. Only the older vines with more concentrated grapes and wines which include some barrel fermentation seem to conduct it towards elegance. This is a very lovely example of Macabeo — 5 years ago

This is overrated by Luís Gutierrez of #robertparker He gave it 90 and while it is a clean wine, it is very simplistic and has coarse tannins. I agree with everyone here that it should be drunk young and chilled and preferably from a “bota” or “porrón” straight shot into your mouth. A great wine with charcuterie and picnic style. #castillayleón #castillayleon #castilla #spain #biodynamic — 5 years ago

Bodegas Altanza

Edulis Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2012

Rrrrrrrraowr! Mushroom and potting soil, prime rib and rosemary. Get the fudge outta my way! Can’t! Dark chocolate dominates in graphite-plum and agro-tannin cedar, cinnamon and tobacco force the issue and the black currant is AGGRESSIVELY assertive! Got black pepper in white pepper sauce! Iron rich liver grill without the bitter; shellfish shell, prune and blackberry show sour aspects and oak tannins spread the word. Spanish oak and sensibility prevail. Beast and the best of such.

Very elegant riper creamier style #chardonnay One of the better that I’ve had from #Spain The best Chardonnays in Spain are definitely coming from #somontano and #aragon These Colección wines are designed for the Asian market and the bottles are ridiculously heavy and the capsules are heavy thick tin capsules. I wish we could all progress and be more Ecological — 5 years ago
