Martín Códax
Rías Baixas Albariño 2021
Bright acidity with flavors of pear and pineapple. Slightly sweet, mostly dry, wonderful for after dinner. Did not eat with a meal. — 2 years ago
Terra d'Uro
La Enfermera Toro Tempranillo 2018
Dark red fruit, peppery, woody. Medium tannin. Pairs well with hard cheeses, imo. Spicy meats competed with and overwhelmed the wine. I love Tempranillo and this is a good one. Received as a gift of three tempranillos - 2016, 2017, and 2018 - from the same label. Haven't tried others yet. — 2 years ago
Decoy
Napa Valley Merlot 2019
Paired very nicely with chicken marsala from Carrabbas and tomato bruschetta. The wine and spice in the dish played easily with each other and created a new, flavorful expression of merlot. — 2 years ago

Very nice. — 2 years ago
Hacienda Terra d'Uro
Finca La Rana Toro Tempranillo 2017
Tobacco and plum on the nose. Strong tannin, but not much flavor. I really like temperanillo but this is quite bland. Maybe it would be better with food, but as a sipping wine it does not have much to recommend it. The 2018 vintage is much better. — 2 years ago

Enjoying with family. Extremely velvety, lots of citrus but not overpowering. Light, probably should be matched with lighter foods. Spicy or heavy will overwhelm it. — 6 months ago
