Château Val De Roc

Domaine Le Roc

La Folle Noire d'Ambat Fronton Negrette

2022 vintage. Any wine that smells like roses gets my attention. In this case the roses are intertwined with spices, and it is hard to find wines this cheap that smell so nice. A delicious,uncomplicated, spicy and fruity Negrette, with a little tannic bite that can be served slightly cold. Abv. 12,5%. This organic Fronton delivers lots of pleasure and character, and it sells for a song. — 11 days ago

"La Val" is Spanish for "The Val." And we are drinking La Val with our friend Val. So, it's all coming together.

Château Roc de Cambes

Côtes de Bourg Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong and fruity nose with ripe black fruits and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing cooked cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, light cedar, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco and chocolates.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot from the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Soft, elegant, and very impressive.

Rich, complex and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

This 6 year old Merlot will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Drinking it with the wine maker in the winery's cellar is always a special experience.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$100.

Capricho Val de Paxarinas Bierzo Godello

Always find myself enjoying Godello when I have it - need to seek it out more. This one is on the more giving side, with lots of lemony fruitiness. Incredible crunchy acid texture. Definitely mouth puckering (in a good way) and with a lingering finish that has that jolly rancher quality. — 25 days ago

On my last trip to Barcelona I remember having the same thoughts about Godello
