Bodega Abel Mendoza
Grano A Grano Rioja Tempranillo 2010
The boss assigned this bottle as homework for the weekend. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, lavender, spice, chalk, and more. Soft tannins, with good body and a long, contemplative finish. Damn. — 10 years ago
Rock Ferry
Central Otago Pinot Noir 2010
Ripe plum, lightest hint of white pepper, floral aromatics. Made with Abel, 5, 667 and 777 clones. The tannins are very refined but and not very present initially but hang in a pleasantly ling lingering experience. This wine is ready for sure but may have another interesting 5 years ahead of it. — 10 years ago

Gorgeous wine. Small producer in Rioja. Had this at El Portal which is a two star. Price.... 40eur so think less than 30eur retail. Come on at a two star! — 11 years ago

Dana Thompson
And Abel said to Cain.."Hey quit trying to one up me all the time and buy some Napa varietals, blend them perfectly and come up with one of the finest Meritage's around."
And Cain said.."you're such a colossal pain in the ass. What? Cain Five wasn't good enough? You have to have a totally accessible Cab blend with the slightest amount of Petit Verdot to balance things out and keep the fruit under control? Seriously? You have to have a great wine that's ready to go right now? Okey Dokey! And here's some more lamb."
So sayeth the book of Dana. — 10 years ago
