Crushable! Strawberry and wet cement on the nose. Velvety texture with tart, but not crunchy, red fruits of strawberry and raspberry, pinch of spice and just a hint of that minerality on the finish. This 2023 spring release was killer all the way around! — 9 months ago

Light with an oiky texture. Floral aromatics and palate with hints of fruit and a honeyed tones. Delicate yet palate coating. — 5 months ago

Nose is beautiful. Heavy flor aromas carry unroasted cashews and almonds with just a hint of orange oil. Palate is light and fresh with an attack of orange oil, lightly roasted cashews and almonds and a big salty finish. A golden brown color that could be easily mistaken for Amontillado, but not surprising for en Rama. Definitely best with food, but delicious on its own. — 8 months ago

Powerful and young. Lemon pith and stones dominate the nose. Big, round mouth feel with nervous acidity framing lemon pith, stones and saline. There's a hint of tropical notes buried deep with, but this needs time. Really good now, could be great with time. — a year ago

Way better as it warms up and opens a bit. At first it's a bit cotton candy-like and tropical and feels out of balance. Once it warms up there is a beautiful wet-cement minerality with over-ripe lemon highlights. The tropical fruit recedes a bit and the cotton candy disappears. It's not pithy or tart, but the acidity is still kicking. Food wine more than an easy summer sipper. — 10 months ago
