Ribera tipicity, with blackberries, cranberries, a hint of cream, caramel, French oak. Medium bodied, good acid, well integrated oak. Easy. — 8 months ago

Ok, whoa eucalyptus is the strangest note in a beautiful way. A freshly struck match. Radish? Root veggie?? But so well balanced. One of my new fav reds. Had with fogo de chao and it couldn’t have been a better choice. — 5 years ago
Berries on the nose, slight tannins on the front, a little acidity on the finish. With some time, will be amazing. — 7 years ago
Excellent!! Crisp clean stone citrus fruit with salt and minerals. A definite warm weather porch pounder. — 7 years ago
Little reductive. Day four reduction coming off but wine also feeling a little more tired. Overall, super complex, terroir can be felt despite redox. Hyper cool — 2 months ago
Beautiful cherry vanilla aroma but a drier, savory, mineral-forward flavor. Reminded me a lot of a cru Beaujolais like Morgon. — 7 months ago
Lovely with a slight chill. Light in body but deep in flavor. — 4 years ago
Bit funky on opening but settles into a nice lime note, palate has tantalizing hint of guava or cantaloupe, good acidity. Short but clean finish. Very quaffable. — 7 years ago
A souvenir brought from the interesting project Bodegas Licinia in Madrid. With some imagination you’ll find some Super Tuscany resemblance with a ripe dark fruit and floral profile with a good energy and well placed portion of oak. Hefty on the alcohol, but well embedded on the palate, with a solid intensity of ripe, yet fresh fruit, and a nice developing persistence on the palate. Good stamina throughout a solid finish.
With Cabernet Sauvignon the intension is to provide structure to the blend and yes it works; 50% Temperanillo 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah and 5% Merlot. Elevage in french oak Barrique oak barriques. — 7 years ago

Had this 2 yrs ago. Mather Teresina, flagship wine of Celler Vinos Piñol, made with grapes grown in high elevation region of Terra Alta. The nearly extinct Morenillo grape is indigenous to the area & makes Mather Teresina a unique wine, a blend of 50% Garnacha, 30% Cariñena & 20% Morenillo. Nice aromas of berries & sweet spice. On the palate cherry flavors with vanilla spice adding pepper notes on fine smooth tannins which opened much quicker. Long ending with sweet fruit tones & bits of earthy floral. — 7 years ago

Fairly mute on the nose…I’m waiting. After time out, Melon, lemon/lime, stone fruit. Tiny effervescence.
But…but…the palate is Wow! A salty, mineral bath with a creamy delicious mouthfeel. Peaches, salt, clementines, but that seashore is irrepressible. There’s some limeishness in the background as well. I see one reviewer said it was “their cheapest & jive”…I don’t really know what to do with that, but I just thought I should stick that in as a WTF?
I made one of those ( strange to us Philly folk) weirdo probably Texas Corn, Jalapeno, Bacon, Cheese dips, and 🎯!!!
Sometimes these wines sneak up on you.
