Special bottle fun to drink — 2 years ago
A Mencia from Bierzo made by an Argentine vintner that tastes more like a Californian Cab Franc. And it’s delicious. Concentrated and a cool blue tone, though all blackberries & cassis notes. Some moderate funk that fades with air, seamless tannins. Not your typical Bierzo either,so the whole package is fascinating. And, under 19$… — 2 years ago
Indubitably expensive but incontestably excellent. An elegant and smooth Malbec. Deep, dark rich flavors. — a year ago
The 2020 Cabernet Franc Matías Riccitelli Viñedos de Montaña hails from the lower eastern border of Los Chacayes (3,500 fasl) in the Uco Valley and was fermented in concrete vats before aging for 16 months in French foudres. In the glass, it's garnet-red with a purple sheen. The nose presents notes of ash, green bell pepper, blackcurrant and blackberry over a layer of oak. Dry and broad, the warm year has brought a velvety texture that contrasts with a chalky mouthfeel and rich palate. The 2020 ends with a long finish of dark fruit.

This is one of my preferred tequila for margaritas. Clean and smooth, and usually not very expensive. So a good combo for sharing mixed drinks with friends. — 4 years ago
Ripe exotic nose with pineapple, yellow pear, guava, but also a stony undertone.
On the palate with nice breadth but also fresh acidity. Juicy, ripe yellow fruit with a cool herby finish. Nice energy & length.
Nice blend that falls not far stylistically from southern Burgundy but does not become a caricature.

Possibly the best all around Chard under $50 I’ve ever had. Lithe, dry, layered with notes of straw and clay, subtle lime essence and pear. WOW. Seek this out. — 5 months ago
