Chris Ringland is their Wine Consultant. Chris is landing there this week to blend the new vintage.
I like this bottling for its quality & price point. Although the ABV is rising (15.5%), it really doesn’t show it.
The 21 is well made but needs another 7-8 yrs in bottle to reveal its better self.

Similar to a cab sauv — strong aroma but not too strong on the palette. Not oaky which is great! Dad likes this one a lot. — 7 months ago
Oakey and smooth! We really loved it! — 9 months ago
Spain. Medium body. Mildly complex. Dry & fruity. Blackberries, plums, spices, cherries, chocolate, cloves. Spice forward. No sharp note. Aged French oak. Price $13-$20. Rob Costco wine. — 4 years ago
Smells like wet leaves (earthy), tastes like tart, cherry candy. — 4 years ago

Not your standard jammy Monastrell: deep wafting (mostly) dark fruited aromas, licorice & minerals, just oozing - peppery notes as well. Broad smooth on palate (med + weight) not much acidity, rugged tannins leading to modest finish. Great QPR @ Costco — 8 months ago
Dinner out in Algonquin, a lovely new wine that we will struggle to find at Jewel! — 4 years ago
Very different on the nose than the lips. Bouquet was almost floral while the taste was quite spicy. Turning out to be a favorite region for sure — 4 years ago
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Very dry on the palate with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel.
Showing black fruits, cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth and peppercorn.
This is a delicious Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero in Spain. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and nicely balanced.
Starting to drink beautifully now, and needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.
Wine Enthusiasts 96 points. Wine Advocate 95 points.
This 5 year old Tempranillo is already complex, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
100% Tempranillo grapes, from 40 year old vines, were aged for 14 months in oak barrels and concrete vats.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Had the 2016 on Derby Day 2025. Dark, rich fruits. Some chocolate with a hint of leather. Vanilla and caramel from the barrel. Very interesting wine. The artwork on the front label is absolutely fascinating. Had to do the back of the bottle to get it in this app. — 4 months ago
Spicy red fruit, mostly cherry. Still quite a few tannins for a 10 year old. — 8 months ago
