Bodegas Alvarez de Toledo

Bierzo Roble Mencía 2013

9.0

Good value Mencia. Plums (almost prunes) and violets on the nose. Cooked dark berry jam and beef jerky flavors on the pallet. Rugged but acceptable tannin structure. Smokey finish. Good QPR. — 7 years ago

Monsieur Ètain Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Ryan Mayes

9.1

In short, surprised and underwhelmed. The nose is absolutely gorgeous: fresh blue berries and whipped cream. After that, resembles CA in the first few rounds of the Alvarez / GGG fight. Decent attack but weak mid palette. Tannins are spot on, however. If this were a bit more ripe and had more horsepower on this finish it would be far more interesting / enjoyable. — 8 years ago

The Lady Duran Agola Ridge Vineyard Viognier Roussanne 2013

Chris DeBarr

9.2

The Lady Duran is named for a friend of winemaker Kelly Overly, and her friend must be something to have this bewitching 50/50 blend of Viognier & Roussanne named after her. This unexpected match is big-boned, saline, yet nimble and balanced by food friendly acidity. You'd be very lucky to say "howdy" to this lady... — 10 years ago

So disappointed in the Duran Gran Reserva Brut Rosé Cava that we defaulted to this last night for New Years Eve. Very nice. — 12 years ago

Have you tried Elizabeth Raventos cava? We tasted a 2003 and it topped the crus (bar Gosset) in a blind tasting.
