clear magenta color, a whiff of funk. Herbaceous, sulfuric, smoky, surprisingly fruity. — 5 years ago
Clear purple color, dark fruit and a little smokiness on the nose. Full-bodied, dry but not overly oaky/peppery/tannic. It begs for brisket. Let it open up. Good value. — 5 years ago

“Francesc and Joan started making wine from their family’s organically farmed vines in the austere Terra Alta region of Catalonia in 2009, drawing on a 200+ year agricultural heritage to make distinctive natural wines that were an immediate hit in Europe. Vernatxa is their name for Garnacha Blanca. The vines are more than 80 years old, deeply rooted in sandy soils. For this bottling, the grapes are fermented on their skins for 7 days, and aged in 500-liter neutral oak barrels. The result is a complex and robust wine, perfect for a meal, with a golden hue and notes of white peach, fennel and quince. It’s fresh yet serious and structured, with a long mineral finish.” — 5 years ago

Classic french rose style plus minerality reflecting its volcanic terroir — 5 years ago
Powerful tropical fruit aromatics from a late harvest. Barrel aged but not over-oaked; mild residual sugars; atypical for a Sauvignon Blanc but still acidic and refreshing. — 6 years ago
