Tinto Pesquera Crianza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2009

A delightful Spanish wine made up mostly of a clone of Tempranillo called Tinto Fino or "Fine Red". This wine is also considered one of Spain's finest (see Dominio de Pingus). Pesquera is owned by Alejandro Fernandez who goal is to make "masculine" wines. This is a good description. Meaty, bold but not overpowering like a Zinfandel. I'm sure the age of this vintage - 2009 - has helped its quality. — 7 years ago

Napa Valley Malbec 2012

New project of Doug Shafer and Elias Fernandez. Beautiful Malbec - full body, lots of character, still young, probably needs more time, but definitely age worthy! Coffee beans, mocha, milk chocolate covered cherry, vanilla, sandalwood. Layers of complexity! Needs time to open up. Velvety finish. — 9 years ago

Brand new wine from Isaac Fernandez. Tempranillo from Tudela del Duero with only 6 months in oak. Straight off the container and into my glass. Super juicy red cherry and chalky mineral notes. Crisp and fresh on the palate. YUM! — 10 years ago

Château Gruaud Larose

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Gary Westby
10

This bottle was a generous contribution from @Sean Fernandez in our old and rare department and was a real contender for wine of the night. It is composed of about 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petite Verdot. The Gruaud was the earthiest, most savory bottle of the whole tasting, and had a little bit of bret that in no way detracted from my appreciation of the wine. It had dark fruit and leather flavors and one of the best supple, medium bodied textures of the whole evening. It was seamless and beautiful wine that drank great now with balance for the ages. — 9 years ago
