Lovely well rounded little known priorat. At 21 years of age remarkably youthful. — 9 days ago

Structured and somewhat tannic still, still some primary fruit but I worry the tannins will outlast the fruit, impressive showing for the second wine of Laurel Glen, our good steaks are effectively cutting the tannins, very good Cal Cab!! — 2 months ago

Backward mountain fruit, but not as tannic as I’d expected, though this should easily last another 25 years, old school Cal Cabernet (13% ABV) that I long for!! — 3 years ago

Довольно маслянистое и плотное для лета, но подойдет для суровой каталонской зимы в качестве альтернативы красному — 3 months ago

Absolutely lovely older Cal Cab, faint browning, still shows loads of structure, just a trace of a green note lurks underneath, but balanced with a long, lingering finish, great stuff!! — 3 years ago

9.1

Malvasia, Tocai Friuli, and Chardonnay blend that has become an old and trusted friend over the past few years. The 2019 is medium gold, bit higher ABV than past vintages at 14.1, and the weight on the palate is considerable though lively and not cloying. Round, sweet, juicy fruit with notes of melon, peach, and lychee dominate, but there’s a hint of funky shroomy bottom that balances things out before the creamy, lengthy finish. I’m so happy that these Cal-Ital blends are gaining a foothold in the New World. This wine rocks with Mediterranean cuisine like lamb/chicken Kabobs with dilled herby rice and creamy hummus. Solid QPR and I’m finding that as summer finally sneaks in, I’m popping more and more white table blends. — 3 years ago
