Hacienda Lopez de Haro (Bodega Classica)

Rioja Viura 2016

This white Rioja wine - Viura and “other varieties” - shows a pale golden tint in the glass. The nose is beautiful. Citrus and tropical fruit abound, with a stony minerality laced into the fruit. On the palate, the acidity is extremely refreshing and the flavors of tangerines and lemons are again presented in mineral fashion. The finish is lengthy and the tropical fruit seems to last the longest. — 7 years ago

Bonne Neige Brouilly Gamay 2016

Floral tension, ripe strawberries, and volcanic minerality combine to make a feminine personality. Given its birth in Brouilly, it displays Mediterranean qualities of jammy fruit and iron. Acid stays lively while structured tannins give depth and adaptability with food. As always, Cru Beaujolais gives high QPR no matter the vintage. Drinking this bitch young as one should. — 6 years ago

Calabretta

Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2010

You have to understand that not many wines ( well, that’s a bit bombastic) give me more pleasure consistently than this, the most recent release-2010! From Calabretta . Kinda like Lopez de Heredia meets Vallana, ie Nebbiolo, though it is Nerollo Macalese. Smoked, tar, roses, fine & integrated tannins on the palate- strong mid palate which in my imagination has gotten stronger with age. Super lithe and really ethereal body- light, light to medium body but gorgeous acid spine, strong presence. Not a light wine. Bought a case or so a while ago-I fear the day I am down to one. Polaner importer. — 4 years ago

Love these wines. Haven’t tried any 2010s yet, still working on the ‘08s.

Even their NVs can be quite good @Josh Morgenthau. One of the great underdogs of Etna- viva el revolution!

Bodegas Beronia

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1981

For a nearly 40 yro Rioja so fresh & vibrant. High pitch notes of mixed red fruit and vanilla on palate. Still snap of acidity to close out finish. Interesting to compare to the younger Lopez Tondonia from night before-not as deep? Drank by the river Jan Kill at the end of a good hike. — 5 years ago

Bodegas Sierra Cantabria

Colección Privada Rioja Tempranillo 2000

Im a Lopez/Rio Alta (w dips into CVNE) guy, so this was unexplored territory into mid/high end Rioja. All seamless, plush mouthfeel, rich rich rich black cherries, w enough acidic undertow to keep it fresh & reaching for next glass. Had after food so would love to taste with-bet its transformed. My home base is still Rio Alta & LopeZ though — 8 years ago
