Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

In 1972, Alejandro Fernández & wife Esperanza Rivera of Pesquera de Duero initiated the renaissance of Ribera del Duero appellation with area's first modern wire-trained vineyard, their Viña Alta in Pesquera. Their entry level wine is a great value. Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits and clean spice. Palate shows flavors of red berry fruits, vanilla, spice, and licorice notes, vivid acidity. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with spice and fruit character. — a year ago

@Delectable Wine : This is the Onesta Petite Syrah. I didn’t see it in the database.

Really unique wine from a small producer. For the makeup, it was shockingly smooth. Very dark and inky with blackberry, cassis, underripe blueberries and black pepper. Stiff tannin but it softens towards the finish. Potpourri and lavender too. Very cool. — 6 years ago

I’ve not managed to try a vintage aged version of this wine because it is so delicious that I can’t wait that long. I might have to hide a few bottles away. This is a must try for all Red wine lovers. The palate is fruity with a moderate amount of tannins. I need to try an aged vintage as I think this wine will blow away most red wines in its category. Go get it now!! — 7 years ago

This was very interesting. It plays a richer denser style of Bonarda with plenty of soft chocolatey tannins due to good color extraction and fermentation/skin management. Some wild red fruits, a hint of gaminess, subtle baking spice. — 2 years ago
