Grapes drawn from all over Spain to make this one and it tastes like various Spanish varietals all in one so it does what it thinks it will. I like it. Overperforms.

Oct 9th, 2020Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, oak, licorice, spices, coffee, tobacco, mocha, light vegetables, pencil lead, peppercorn and herbs.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with black currants, cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco leaf, spices, oak, licorice, light vegetables, pencil lead, peppercorn and dark coffee.
Tangy finish with soft tannins and raspberries.
This is a very tasty red blend from Spain from the house of Dave Phinney. Well balanced with a nice mouthfeel and mild complexity.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up and gets more structure.
Easy drinking and a good everyday wine.
I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

Vintage 2011 - a wine that deceives you in the beginning: you only smell vanilla and wood. I don't like that... but after ten minutes in the glass, suddenly the fruit breaks through. Aeration Alert for this Spanish wine!!! Beautiful aftertaste. #spain

This is an aromatic wine, for starters. The E5's nose blasts dark fruit and a drawer full of savory aromas. There are cigars, trod-upon leaves, tar and an old catcher’s mitt in that dark liquid. Herbs abound, with thyme, sage, nutmeg and peppers leading the way. On the palate it's blackberry land, with a heapin’ helpin’ of currant and licorice. The flavors are rough-cut and rustic, as is the tannic structure. This wine needs a big, fatty steak to give it something useful to do.

E5. Bouquet of red roses and luscious violets. Even in this shitty hotel water glass. Definitely buying this one at home to enjoy in proper crystal. Snoot!

1 person found it helpfulJul 28th, 2018E Is For España. E is the fourth release of the Locations wine from the Iberian locale. Phinney uses Garnacha, Tempranillo, Monastrell and Cariñena grapes grown all over the Peninsula. The locations for this wine include Priorat, Jumilla, Toro, Rioja and Ribera Del Duero. Aromas of currant produce an elegant first whiff of this incredibly dark wine. Layer in some tobacco, pepper and sweet oak and you have a nose worth remembering. It brings to mind great wine I’ve had from the varied regions, er, locations of Spain. The sip is lush with black fruit, and spiced with white pepper, mocha and a hint of vanilla. There is enough tannic grip here to tame a steak right off the grill.
