Raisin, caramel, salt, and nuts. A definite winner. — 3 years ago

9.1

Licorice, funky soil, earth.

Definitely unctuous, but I really appreciate it here. The jammy fruit comes through the mid palate, in a dance with the more funky notes of earth and garden. Nice acidity without it being overpowering. — 4 years ago

No idea why the ratings are low. Dark fruit and acidity enough to balance it is rare but this has it. For me Syrah is a complicated grape, as it can be hideous or great. This hits far above expectations. Let it air a bit? — 6 years ago

Bellísimo! Eucalyptus gave way to lavender and cocoa. Tightly wound cherry with long tannic finish. Had with frito misto, gnocchi pomodoro, margherita pizza and herb rack of lamb at Casa di Don Alfonso. First indoor meal in >1 year. Was like riding a bike. — 4 years ago

9.4

Rich perfume of spices and pomegranate. Specifically pomegranate. Beautiful bee pollen and mulling spices. No harshness. The fragrance of a rich and blossoming garden of roses.

Woah. Zippity zip. We got acidity, and it’s medium to high but with the natural carbonation and juice juice juice, it just works man.

It’s got sour framboise beer qualities, but of course the tannins and the cola like quality just sings.

Patting myself on the back for popping into Simply Wine in Financial District before a rooftop dinner party with some old friends. — 4 years ago

An airy, effusive and downright beautiful wine is the 2018 Taganan from the Tenerife Envínate property of modernist Spanish winemakers Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente. Created from 100-200 year old vines on volcanic soils, it’s a delicate, restrained wine with a gorgeous, smoky bouquet of sour cherry, strawberries and Provençal herbs; the palate, meanwhile, is saturated with very fine tannins, almost imperceptible acidity and nice length. Served lightly chilled, this is an exciting wine which should gain further interest with age. — 2 years ago
