2015. This is a wine for the geek and non-geek alike. A blend of brancellao, caiño, and ferrol (go ahead, look them up. I’ll wait) it offers sour cherry flavors and a hint of fresh herbs wrapped up in a blanket of minerality and crisp acids that are just irresistible. Juicy with light yet puckering tannins. A fun treat to be sure. Great tonight with grilled tri tip. Only 12% abv. $19. (The number score is an error in that I rarely give them. I fat fingered something and now I have to leave a score.) — 8 years ago

Luis' top red cuvée from his oldest vines of Brancellao, Caiño Redondo, Caiño Longo and Ferrol. Unlike the "regular" A Torna Dos Pasas, the Escolma is aged in new and used French barriques for 1yr and bottle-aged for another 3 years.

Red and black tart berry fruit, backbone of fine tannins and Atlantic/granite minerality.

This is Spanish wine for Burgundy lovers. Amazing. — 10 years ago

Spectacular Mencia with Brancellao. Amazing personality with round ripe fruit AND freshness. It has reminders of a good Pinot Noir. — 10 years ago

Definite gaminess-- like medium-rare venison. Canned Thanksgiving cranberry jellly-- like the stuff that takes the shape of the can. Ripe strawberry. Wild herbs and field of grains. Rose petals. Beef jerky. Tomato leaf. Red licorice. Bit of sweet tobacco. No doubt this is a complex wine.

This is the type of wine that right when I open and taste I think, "this is going to be absolutely delicious and layered in like two days if I leave it". And it's even gorgeous after like 20min in the glass.

Med/med+ gritty tannin, medium acidity, medium + body. Very Ruby red with clear rim. Lot of staining. Has a big feel, but it's somehow still light and refreshing.

Honestly, it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be for a Rias Biaxas Tinto. Feels so Rhone Grenache to me. This nose is so beautiful though... 91.5 — 7 years ago

2009. A blend of Caiño Redondo, Caiño Longo, Brancellao, and Ferrol according to my friend Chris. Lean, dark fruit with firm tannins and refreshing minerality. We had it with beef-stuffed bell peppers, but this vintage would've paired better with steak frites in retrospect. — 11 years ago
