New year, new wine (no. 2): Italian grapes in North Fork, LI. Dark, brambly fruit, intensely flavored, floral and earthy undertones, lots of structure. Last vintage ever, though, as the winemaker’s calling it quits after a zoning fight (the region is in full backlash against encroaching urbanity, which the proliferating wineries have come to represent; Suffolk Co was - still is? - Trump country. I digress...) It’s great, experimental wine for an often cautious region. Stock up while it’s still around. — 7 years ago
Jo li trobo gust a cuir, minerals i una mica de fum. Vi contundent i estructurat però no tànnic. Amb la calor que fa al Campo de Borja, jo diria que és un vi que expressa bé el territori. — 3 years ago
Colour: almost no transparency, dark red - violet
Nose: fresh and concentrated nose of red and black fruit: raspberry, red berries, plums, and hints of figs - after a while some Mediterranean red spives coming through, and a violet-red flowers note as well.
Palace: very nice acidity (quite high) perfectly balanced with nice tannins, that are rustic but not without elegance. Good structure and balance, Very refreshing and drinkable.

No només té macabeu, també té panarra, una varietat poc habitual ni coneguda. Elaborat en dipòsit de pedra excavada a terra, que li dona un particular gust, i una mica de fusta. He tastat el 2016 — 7 years ago
Té el que li demanàvem, frescor, fruita, pas ràpid en boca i malgrat el sirah no hem trobat ni dolçor ni piruletes — 9 years ago
Hoppy goodness, muddled Cherry notes that compliment the balanced tartness. A winner for sure. — 10 years ago

Soft delicate Thomas Spotteck touch. No green vegetables. Beautiful LI cab franc representation. Can't wait for future vintages... — 2 years ago
