Stellar blend from #Valencia of near-extinct native grape #mandó + 25% #monastrell (mourvèdre), fermented in stainless, then transferred to clay #tinajas for 14 months. Rich, bright, evocative cedar notes, long finish. More please! @Recipe, Newberg OR — 10 years ago

Another wine which was overrated by Luis Gutierrez of #Parker I understand why he liked it because he’s a huge fan of #Garnacha and from Avila in particular because that’s where he’s from, but this wine from #Navarra is simple, which by itself isn’t a bad thing. It’s just straightforward good Garnacha #Grenache and perhaps due to it being matured in #tinajas it’s got #coolkid status. — 4 years ago
